Research suggests that police practices, such as racial profiling, over-policing in areas populated by minorities and in-group bias may result in disproportionately high numbers of racial minorities among crime suspects.[65][66][67][68]
In-group bias has been observed when it comes to traffic citations, as black and white cops are more likely to cite out-groups.[67] A 2013 report by the American Civil Liberties Union found that blacks were "3.73 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession," even though "blacks and whites use drugs, including marijuana, at similar rates."[69] A 2020 study in the journal Nature found that black drivers were stopped more often than white drivers, and that the threshold by which police decided to search black and Hispanic drivers was lower than that for whites (judging by the rate at which contraband was found in searches).[12] Analysis of more than 20 million traffic stops in North Carolina showed that blacks were more than twice as likely as whites to be pulled over by police for traffic stops, and that blacks were more likely to be searched following the stop. There were no significant difference in the likelihood that Hispanics would be pulled over, but Hispanics were much more likely to be searched following a traffic stop than whites. When the study controlled for searches in high-crime areas, it still found that police disproportionately targeted black individuals. These racial disparities were particularly pronounced for young men. The study found that whites who were searched were more likely to carry contraband than blacks and Hispanics.[70][71]
A 2018 study in the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies found that law enforcement officers in Texas who could charge shoplifters with two types of crimes (one more serious, one less so) due to a vaguely worded statute were more likely to charge blacks and Hispanics with the more serious crime.[72]
A 2019 study, which made use of a dataset of the racial makeup of every U.S. sheriff over a 25-year period, found that "ratio of Black‐to‐White arrests is significantly higher under White sheriffs" and that the effects appear to be "driven by arrests for less‐serious offenses and by targeting Black crime types."[73]
A 2019 study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology found that facial-recognition systems were substantially more likely to misidentify the faces of racial minorities.[74] Some ethnic groups, such as Asian-Americans and African-American, were up to 100 times more likely to be misidentified than white men.[74]
A 2018 study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that tall young black men are especially likely to receive unjustified attention by law enforcement.[75] The authors furthermore found a "causal link between perceptions of height and perceptions of threat for Black men, particularly for perceivers who endorse stereotypes that Black people are more threatening than White people."[75]

Black people are no more angels than white people but guess what - No-one would choose to be black because life is made a lot harder in many ways. The marijuana possession one is interesting. In states where a lot of white people enjoy it, it has been legalised. In the others, as in London, if you are white and middle class or above it is highly unlikely you will be arrested for a small quantity. If you are working class white you probably won't be arrested unless you do something stupid. If you are black? Well the numbers speak for themselves. You likely will be arrested, charged and possibly sent to prison.

Yes, so true.
But, but, but those black folks "ended up in their situation because of the choices they made". Or the choices made by their parents. Like the choice to produce children...

Funny to hear that from someone who thinks Candace Owens is representative for the opinions of the black community. LOL

That's what I mean by institutionalized racism.

At this point I'm convinced you are being willfully ignorant. I've been consistent in saying the voices in that community are diverse, just as in all other communities. Candace is a voice, not the voice. Yep, that's it. There are many voices. Conservative, liberal, centrist, extremist and about 45 million other voices if we are talking about the US of A.

So why aren't BLM clamoring for judicial reform?

yet, you presented only voices that presented one side. Who is willfully ignorant? (or misleading?)

No, wrong yet again. I showed the other side. The reverse side of the coin. Even so, as I have repeatedly said, this not a binary. There are many multiples of views. As always, everywhere and anytime.

Cheng posted a video showing a policeman pinning her down by the neck with his knee while she cried out in pain and tried to push him off. He was shown eventually letting her go after another woman tried to pull her out from under him, before grabbing Cheng by the hair as he pushed her out of the room. The video has since been removed from Weibo.
“I will never forget the fear I felt, and I never thought this kind of near-death experience would be caused by the people who have sworn to protect the public,” Cheng wrote in her Weibo post, also now deleted.
Cheng was later “educated on common law” and has since “expressed understanding”, according to the police statement. It did not confirm the identity of the policeman in the video, nor did it address his actions.
On Sunday, Cheng wrote on Weibo: “Thank you to everyone who read my Weibo post. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Luohu police for their sincere communication and assistance, the issue has since been resolved, I hope everyone can stop sharing and commenting about it. Thank you again everyone.”

There are lots of logos with white faces on them, but black faces are now taboo? For me that sounds like "logo-apartheid". But I am sure, that naive me just don't see the obvious.
