Responding to the violent protests this month in Charlottesville, Va., one of New York City’s main police unions has released a video claiming that police officers are the frequent victims of discrimination, or what the brief four-minute clip called “Blue Racism.”

Posted on YouTube on Sunday night by the Sergeants Benevolent Association, the video shows footage of protests against the police and of news coverage of recent attacks on officers in New York City, denouncing “this strange form of racism” that “continues to engulf the country.”

“The average person doesn’t see those things that make me human,” the narrator of the video says. “They don’t even label me based on being African-American, Latino, Asian, Caucasian and so on. They tend to see an even broader stereotype through an even more racist lens. When they look at me, they see blue.”
