Was "Suicide Box" made too racial

It seemed like they made it too much of a social issue that was too racially motivated, concentrating more on a white and black conflict. I thought it should have been more black and (police) blue conflict. They purposely made more of the so called crucial antagonists white. Now if they would have made the officer that was shot black, it would have toned down the racial issue and would have concentrated more on the overworked underpaid medical examiner. Instead of focusing on the repercussions of poorly paid and overburdened city workers, they chose to make it seem that it's justified to shoot a police officer, if you feel you were wronged.
