The only "loaded" thing here is your assertion that cops being racist is a loaded statement, and the implication that it needs citations to be treated as a reasonable thing to say. That is the consensus position, common enough to be treated as fact in state supreme court decisions, and the one with the weight of evidence behind it. It is no more "loaded" than a claim that the earth revolves around the sun.
State Supreme Court decisions have never been made based on the statement that all police in the US are racist.
You gave links only supporting the behavior in Boston, so the only conclusion that can be made is about Boston. Assuming the demographics of Boston are the same as Los Angeles or Atlanta requires a level of stupidity that would preclude you from operating a computer, so I assume you are being willfully misleading to grind an ax. Take it to another forum or discuss it with a therapist.
