Media fans racial tensions

I like it now when the police beat a black guy, the media always wants to find out if there were any black cops taking part:
Ramsey said he did not know the race of all the officers on the scene — there were about 15 — but said that at least one sergeant involved is African-American. (Link)
What is the implication here? Is it that it is okay or not as bad if there is a black cop present? Or that the black cop is expected to stop the beating and his failure to do so indicates the suspects were probably guilty? If there were more black cops present this kind of thing wouldn’t happen?
Implication? Implication? There’s no implication. It is well known that police are allowed constitutionally to beat the dawg shit out of anyone. Provided they are of the same racial composition.
If not, they are not allowed to impede the person in any way whatsoever.
al sharpton is one his way, as soon as he pays his back taxes.
