Ok, 52% of murders are committed by blacks.
Blacks are almost always murdered by other blacks.
Even if the gross numbers are higher for whites, there would be a higher concentration of murders, and other crimes, in black neighborhoods thus a greater concentration of police attention.
You want the people at the greatest risk to have less protection?
That is your choice, more police to protect them, even if the residents are paranoid enough to think those cops are after them.
Or pull out and leave them defensless?
When NYC police ceased their two decades long stop and frisk tactics in minority neighborhoods . . . . . crime rates went down!
It is the quality of attention rather than the quantity that seems to matter.
The President's Commission on Community Policing (I think it is called but I'm not sure) tasks the Justice Department to support community policing strategies. Getting to know the members of the community seems to be more effective a strategy than flying rambo squads. Actually, community policing philosophy began decades ago. The Charlotte Mayor keeps referring to the "partners" but community policing requires commitment on both sides. The protests as well as the behavior of police don't speak well of the effort in that city.
The following issues have been found to assist
police departments engage in effective community policing efforts:
Form community partnerships with a wide-range of partners, above and beyond active resident groups
Increase the department’s accessibility to the residents it serves
Train personnel at every level of the department in best practices in community policing
Work towards increasing officer buy-in about the benefits of the community policing philosophy
Prioritize sustained and meaningful commitment by the department’s leadership to the community policing philosophy
Integrate community policing activities into performance evaluation systems
Continue to support systematic and standardized problem solving approaches
A 2010 summary of the ten most rigorous studies on the effectiveness of SARA-based problem-oriented policing between 1993 and 2006 concluded that these efforts achieved statistically-significant reductions in crime and disorder in their affected cities.

There is much more explanatory information in the linked article.
The problem I see with your comments is that they only reflect one strategy of policing . . . . a rather old and outdated strategy.
That claim is interesting since stop and frisk was a major component of slashing the crime rate at the begining of this century.
Now did the crime rate drop because they no longer found out about crimes?
Stop and frisk was the only way they found out about many people carring weapons who, by law, were not allowed to.
How about the city government not ordering the police to "aggressively" enforce a law to stop the selling of "loosies" thus increasing the number of confrontations between the cops and the people.
How not about ordering the police to make more arrests at a particular locations then claim that they didn't have a law to enforce when they know that while what they arrest someone for is leagal in the state but not in the city.
Maybe they shouldn't "give them room to destroy"
Maybe they shouldn't turn down NG help and get enough manpower to keep the rioters from placing the city under siege.
You are likely to live in a nicer safer neighborhood than I do and thus have less an idea of things than I do even if I am white, mostly black neighborhood but the whites who live around here are as good, and as bad as the blacks.
