There are many studies showing that police racially profile. The most famous is the NYC "stop and frisk" policy where only 9% of the stops involved white people and 98% of the stops found no contraband. So cop were stopping innocent people for no reason and 91% of them were minorities.
In a study of 313 random traffic stops in Cincinnati in '03-'04 it was found that "Blacks were between three and five times more likely to (a) be asked if they were carrying drugs or weapons, (b) be asked to leave the vehicle, © be searched, (d) have a passenger searched, and (e) have the vehicle physically searched in a study conducted. . https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1460-2466.2008.00398.x
A study from Richmond Virginia in 2001 found that blacks were stopped at a disproportionate rate based on their percentage of population even though whites were more likely to be ticketed or arrested when stopped. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1098611101004001001
A 2009 study of traffic stops in West Virginia showed that minorities were 1.5 times more likely ot be stopped and 2.5 times more likely to have their vehicles searched than white people despite the fact that white people were MORE LIKELY to have contraband in their possession.
The list goes on and on. Police think minorities are more likely to be criminals, so they concentrate more on minorities. But this turns out to be a self fulfilling prophesy. Since they concentrate more on minorities they en dup arresting more minorities.
