.... Unfortunately, cops of all races use abuse and cruelty to maintain the evils systematic racism in this country. speaking for all the black people i have talked to about this, we all want to see justice served. if a black cop killed him, then a black cop needs to go to jail.
How can a Black cop commit a racist act against another Black person. By definition this would not fit definition of racism. (Of course I realize that people use the word "racism" these days as argument for anything they don't like, real or imagined, when they can't otherwise justify or admit real reason for dislike)
Since you say you are speaking for all Black people that you talked to. Will your group accept the courts decision if it is found the cops were innocent of all charges?
Can you give examples of "evils systematic racism".

How do you define racism???
Your statement implies that if you are Black your are somehow void of racism, bias, racial prejudice while interacting with other Blacks. I hope you know that there are Black people out there who hold biases towards other Black people.
Also, if you ask anyone living in Sandstown or on the East or West side of Baltimore, they will be the first to tell you that Black officers are just as bad as some White, Hispanic or Asian officers.
And this issue goes beyond race, though it is still a very important factor.
i keep seeing this sentiment. this idea that now that it has come out that 3 of the cops are black, protesters and #freddiegray supporters have egg on our face or don't care. The only color that matters is blue.

I agree with you.
Those who are making these statements are showing how little they understand the position of those of us who are calling for police accountability.

You might find this article interesting in regards to your first bullet point:

The en vogue chant yesterday in Baltimore was 'No Justice, No Peace, No Racist Po-lice.'
The clear implication is cops like those who arrested and transported Gray are racist. Perhaps it's you who doesn't understand the position of All who seek police accountability.

Remarks to your points.
Websters.
No argument, but that isn't racism by definition. Bigot is a better word.
