OK.. Example.
I'm not sure what case it was, but it involved the killing of an unarmed black man in which the poliece officer involved was indicted on charges of murder.
In a jury of his peers, most were white, all but one white man, accused the officer of being guilty.
Because there was no unanimous decision, obviously he was acquitted.
When word got out, that man was not only perceived by the people, but also by multiple news outlets just as racist and wrong as the officer who actually commited the act. So much so, they had to protect his identity due to death threats.
He claimed he truly didn't feel the officer was guilty and didn't want to sentence him to jail, however;* That didn't stop the general public from lumping them together in the same group.
It's kinda like when those whites we're defending the existence of the Robert E.* Lee statue. They claimed they we're protecting history,* but from my point, and many others, those people are no different and just as "guilty" as the KKK.
