A group of six (former) officers have entered guilty pleas after invading a home, without a warrant or any kind of probable cause, and torturing two men for at least 90 minutes. The only complaint they were responding to was a neighbor saying that she saw two black men staying with a white woman and that she thought this seemed suspicious.

Arriving with a plan to plant drugs and a gun, the officers broke into the home, tazed and assaulted the two men, and even staged a "mock execution" where one officer removed a bullet from his gun and dry fired into the victim's mouth. . . but then pulled the trigger again, breaking the man's jaw and almost causing him to lose his tongue. In addition to telling the two men to get back on "their side" of the river, there were of course racial slurs involved.

I don't approve of what these officers did, but this is a consequence of the federal level of government preventing Mississippi from enforcing its laws against interracial Caucasian-African sex. The local authorities will seek other ways to enforce the policies they want.

There are probably a long list of black men who were mistreated or wrongfully framed for crimes because they were having sex with a white woman -- and I don't just mean in a committed long-term relationship but were involved in very licentious sexual activity involving more than two people, which provoked the ire of the local authorities.

In some sense I do not feel too sorry for these black men, but I do feel sorry for them in the sense that they did not know what they were doing was wrong and had not been given notice that it was illegal.

It seems in this particular story the police went over the top.

Well, several arguments could be made in favor of such a law.
There is the issue of interracial babies, or the tragedy of abortion. Most all of the time when a white woman gets impregnated by black guy, the black guy does not stay around to act as a father. (Of course that's common with white guys now, but statistically it's still much more likely to happen if he's black. Black men may not take the prospect of a long-term relationship as seriously if the woman is not black)
Some believe it's not really the most fair to the child, that being interracial the child does not have any singular identity and may have more trouble fitting in.
Then some people are concerned about sexually transmitted diseases, which are rampant in one group, spreading into white circles. So if a woman sleeps with a black guy and then later sleeps with a white guy, she is promoting the spread of disease.
Then there are also arguments about the dating pool, that in the dating game black men are the most in demand, but that inevitably ends up leaving a surplus of unwanted black women left on the sidelines. Not an overall healthy thing for society.

As you can see, a plethora of arguments are available in favor of such a law.
Of course, that kind of clashes with the concept of unrestricted sexual fulfillment that is so close to the core of modern progressive belief/ideology. But in earlier periods of American (and European) history, there were all sorts of laws that regulated sexual conduct.

Bad argument.

Ultimately the problem you describe is one of access to education, access to health care, and access to housing. That will solve the "problem" you are arguing about.

Well, that's what progressives think.

There may be some mediocre element of truth to it, but if taken more than a little length the assertion becomes wacky.

Yes, if only they had "education, health care, and housing". You could turn every Third World country into Germany!

No, the data say's it.

The issues you raise are far more connected to class and education, than race.

You are not interested in making the world generally better, hence why you're ok with basically not making any steps toward progress. It's why you are ok with being selfish and not caring about other humans.

It's a shitty and basically immoral attitude to have.

In short, you're kind of a piece of shit human.
