1. The issue in this case is the police killing of an unarmed 18 year old. It's not about "intraracial crimes." It's different when there is police power involved. There haven't been riots for white on black crime, either. This mess is directed towards abuse of police power. First by shooting Michael Brown. Secondly by turning dogs on peaceful protestors on the very first day. Even if you believe that Michael Brown had it coming, do you really advocate the use of dogs on protestors?
2. The black community does not ignore black on black crime, not even close. TNC explains it better than I can.

By trying to change the topic to black-on-black crime, you are avoiding the issue of police abusing their power and the disproportional way that effects blacks in the US.
