You know there are actual studies on this right? We don’t have to speculate. When controlled for number of encounters black people are less likely than whites to be killed by the police. Study done by Stanford. But carry on with your narrative…

Police officers speak significantly less respectfully to black than to white community members in everyday traffic stops, even after controlling for officer race, infraction severity, stop location, and stop outcome. This paper presents a systematic analysis of officer body-worn camera footage, using compu- tational linguistic techniques to automatically measure the respect level that officers display to community members. This work demonstrates that body camera footage can be used as a rich source of data rather than merely archival evi- dence, and paves the way for developing powerful language- based tools for studying and potentially improving police– community relations.

Among the findings, African American men were four times more likely to be searched than whites during a traffic stop. African Americans were also more likely to be handcuffed, even if they ultimately were not arrested.
