Blacks are significantly more likely (7 times as likely to be exact) as whites to commit homicide. They are also more likely (6x) than whites to be a victims of homicide; see: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/htius.pdf pages 40-41.
That supports my argument.

You miss the point I'm trying to make entirely. I am not for arguing for or against racial profiling. I am trying to move away from voluntaristic and moralistic 'explanations' of police behavior so popular among many lefties, and try to get into organizational/structural factors.
