No, actually it doesn't. But yours functions as if you're arrogant enough to believe you know the subconscious motivations of people you've never met. And that, oh look! Their subconscious motivations just happen to be that trendy cause of everything bad that happens in a black person's life these days; white supremacy!

You're not even using words like "possible" or "might be." "The Tyre Nichols murder was white supremacy," you say. And why do you say this? Because the black men were police officers. That's it. If we were talking about a murder that was identical to this one in every way except that the five guys didn't have a badge, I don't think you'd be making this claim.

What we know of cop culture is that it's violent. Domestic violence, mental illness, the "better tried by twelve than carried by six" mentality.

I've lived in America for about 10 years but grew up in England. Hence the spellings. I also travel a lot. Right now I don't even live in an English speaking country.
