I'm guessing you didn't watch the Bill Maher clip because they covered the bolded area a little bit as far as yes most people do recognize that minorities are more involved statistically in crimes but the fact of the matter is if the situation were reversed and and it was a young white kid. he would have made it home safely and there wouldn't have been an issue. It's not even about shifting the blame of their behaviors onto others. It's the fact that white people feel the need to tell minorities they need to improve their image so they don't get stereotyped and attacked because someone is ignorant enough to believe that all minorities fit their stereotypes to a T.
You sound just like Ted Nugent with that bolded statement you made.
If you don't know what he said, I'll link you the article.
