I was walking down the street and I punched a white guy, then I was arrested for assault. The next day after I got out, I punched a black guy and I was arrested for impersonating a police officer.

The joke plays on the stereotype of police officers as predominantly white, suggesting that a black man punching someone could be seen as 'acting like' a cop, hence impersonating an officer. It's absurd because that's not how impersonation works, and it highlights racial bias in a funny way.
