Question is not about one example. A systematic bias clearly exists against one class of people - more specifically hispanics and blacks. If you deny that bias exists, then say so. Address the topic with numbers.

Completely irrelevant here is whether people riot, whether the judicial system must be scrapped, or that many bad people exist. Relevant question is about a persistent and one side bias against some people who are colored differently. Fact say it exists - significantly. If you dispute this, then what facts dispute this? Does this bias exist? Yes or no - with facts.

Henry Louis Gates in 2009 demonstrated a problem that statistics confirm. An emotional bias that news reports now demonstrate are widespread. Do you disagree with the existence of that problem? Does all of law enforcement have a larger problem? Or do some bad apples more than make all others look bad? Does law enforcement use a blue mask to ignore a problem in their ranks? That some are corrupted by the power they possess.

Statistics clearly demonstrate a problem exists. Or do you deny it?

That is obviously not you as in henry quick. That obviously is you as in everyone who reads this. Or did 'you' assume something different? An example about what creates bias.
