Here's the problem in simple terms: the racist cop gets redeemed, but his redemption has absolutely nothing to do with black people or atoning for his crimes against black people.

oh man, please stop, dude. This is like textbook "bad allyship." Start from the premise that black folks know more than you about anti-black racism in the same way people who eat strawberries know more about strawberries that people who have just seen and smelled them.
Would you, a non-strawberry-eater, argue with a strawberry-eater about the experience of eating strawberries? Probably not, right? Or at least you'd argue from a very humble place, right? You'd ask, not dictate. You'd accept correction, rather than bristling. Try that.

That doesn't mean I'm not allowed in on the conversation simply because of my skin color. Progress can't be made unless we all work together. All races, and all people. You could easily flip that logic and say I understand white racism against POC more because I'm white.
