Criminals are still people, and some of which have paid their debt to society. They're bothered but rightfully so.
It really doesn't matter what you believe to be true on the basis of my perception on my safety around the police. Statistically speaking of course, black males (and black people in general) have been murdered by police officers at alarming rates since 2010 (and that's the ones being covered by mass media). I have the right to be afraid because most of which are black, teenage males, all of which I am. Especially since I have the reason to fear a "justice" system that won't convict a police officer that may murder me one day.
The majority of the protests and such have been black people, because we are the ones being killed. But plenty of other races take part in helping us out.
Not to go into my personal life, but yes, on more than one occasion I (and many others in my family) have been stopped my officers for "fitting the description" of a suspect who does not physically resemble me in the slightest way.
I didn't mean to quote you, but you're completely right.

I think the consecutive cases of miss conduct of police officers and the behavior of the judicial system in US shows issues way deeper than racism itself. Shows a dangerous fragility in the judicial system, the lake of capacity to address and punish a crime committed by a policemen is far more dangerous than the crime itself because open the doors to what one day was a mistake made by a single men become something mundane, become the reality of what black people face.
The issue here isn't just racism, is the lake of ability to address and control racism. You can't control a racist person but a Government can control a racist system. The fact the system isn't color blind is far worse than the racist cop because is like the justice system itself gives the cop their blessing to be racist. In another words, the problem isn't the police is the entire justice system.
Every cop is in the line of fire, I respect the police because is not easy to be one. Specially in a country where so many people have legal weapons and you can buy basically any armory you want for a decent price, in another words when a police approaches a suspect the chances of the suspect having some sort of weapon isn't low.
That video @Evil posted of the cop shooting that kid is shocking in so many ways. Is shocking they didn't wait more than 2 seconds to shoot and is also scary to think those cops have in many ways a reason to be afraid because a person can actually buy legally any weapon there for that civilian cold easily be holding an actual gun.
The thing that shocks me the most is how the media presents the case and how society behaves in US. As much as the system is corrupted, society is also guilty of lake of conscience because they address the matter as a problem of "black people" basically discarding those people are first and most of all US citizens. Isn't a problem of the blacks is a issue that belongs to everyone, how on earth a police can be so unprofessional and poorly trained? How the cop can fear so much random civilians they shoot first and ask later?

I go to school right on the Baltimore line, 15 minutes form the city. I've been posting updates on what's happening that I know of since Monday on my Tumblr. Here's what I've posted so far:
Monday 4/27: I go to school in Towson which is 15 minutes out of Baltimore. Stuff is beginning to get crazy around here. Baltimore just issued a curfew for tomorrow. My class earlier this evening was canceled after a potential bomb threat/armed person alarm went out for that building and the library. One of my friends that's a black male was in the library at the time, and cops forced him to the ground face down for several minutes before releasing him. It feels so strange to have to world’s eye right on us, and I fear this is only going to get worse. The world will see what happens next… Research carefully where you are getting your information. Several people I know have been going out into the riots/protests today and photographing it. They say that majority of what's going on is peaceful protests, but the actual riots happening are terrifying. None of this will end until systemic racism is destroyed.
update (4/28): Last night someone broke into the Towson Mall to loot, but I think it was an isollated incident. They posted a video on FB of them doing it, so I'm sure they were caught. The Baltimore community got up at the crack of dawn this morning and cleaned the city up. Things seemed to be calming down, but the city curfew starts tonight. Towson University has canceled our classes for the rest of the day however, and rumors are that PD have a plan set to bottle neck riots off if they head towards Towson. Haven’t heard of any more riots starting, but possible rumors of other protests beginning in Towson and Owings Mills this week.
update (4/29): Things still seem to be on the calmer side. Last night was the first night of the curfew, and it seems like a few dozen people resisted the curfew, but I honestly don’t know how bad anything got. One of my friends organized a large march to start at Towson today and end up at City Hall in Baltimore I believe. Turns out, they are not allowed to march even peacefully in Baltimore AT ALL since the city is in a Sate of Emergency. If they do march, even if it’s before curfew, they will be arrested and the bail is thousands of dollars. To my knowledge they will still be marching from Towson at 3pm, and going right up to the Baltimore City line. Towson has canceled classes that go past 8pm today.

Whenever I watch "prank videos" where someone is touching people physically, maybe tries to touch a male's beard or pick someone's nose. Then most white males seem to oddly enough let a stranger with a camera come up to you and touch their beard/nose, whatever. While most black males seem to tend to get aggressive really quickly and fight back. Not sure how the edit the videos though and how many clips they are actually recording. The same applies to American TV-series like COPS.
You opened a can of worms with that comment, but there are several studies that support what you said.

Define "white folks". As in non-black? A video I instantly thought of is when a police officer beats up a man in a wheelchair in Duluth, Minnesota and when a police officer throw a woman into a cell. Not sure if you think the guy in the wheelchair is considered as white by everyone though. I'm not really the person who watches police brutality videos unless someone shows me, so I can't really think of any more videos. But pretty much every police brutality has one thing in common. That they struggle against an arrest or do the opposite of what they are being told by a police officer. From what I have seen, it's few times I see white people struggle against whenever a police officer is trying to arrest someone.

I haven't read much about the case in general except for what you just summed up. I checked some videos earlier on the internet other than that. They kind of reminds me of European football (soccer) hooligans, except for their skin-colour. I checked people's comments and they were like "this is the result of a multicultural society yada yada yada". Perhaps there's some truth in it? I don't know.
I personally believe they were a bunch of bored, possibly unemployed "thugs" who lives outside the American society and have built up some hatred towards their government and the police for half of their life time and then an event like this came up. Where they felt like they could use someone's death as an excuse to "give back" to the society, especially the police. The thing is that it's the Americans (their parents included) who have to pay for almost everything they destroy, not the politicians. I don't think they will gain nothing by doing this except for attention and a bad reputation.
I wouldn't be surprised if their government will react like a police state and put up military-like "police" around the place until the riot stops. Perhaps a few people may get shot, but it's the US. So no one will care. If there was another civilized country who did it, then the US would be first to criticize it.
I have no facts in anything I wrote by the way. I simply just wrote down my thoughts as you wanted
