fxfxfxfxThe reality is there are far more likely reasons (none of them justified) that cops abuse their powers -- like them being petty little shits that aren't very good at their job. Or maybe they are just scared shitless that they have to be surrounded by people that hate them. Or maybe they had their little ego hurt and want to get a few digs in. Or maybe Karen took the kids.
"Far more likely"? (Not that all or even most cops are racist, but) do you expect a bunch of often poorly educated people in a historically super racist country to not be frequently racist? You're ignoring the near unanimous experience of black people. If those were the actual causes for abuse of power, which seem unrelated to race, wouldn't white people have more stories to tell about it? The worst I've heard is when my dad got a ticket on Christmas Day for driving too slowly...
There's even been a bunch of stuff where machine learning algorithms were trained on historic data and end up being super racist, even when race isn't included as a data point because stuff like zip code is correlated with race (I hope you can figure out why!) This is a real thing that smart scientists are studying! (just mentioning that to affirm that there are people who recognize and care strongly about racism besides 19 year old liberal arts majors) Like... It is categorically undeniable that there are still massive race issues in the U.S.
