Just saw an intersting show on PBS last night called "Hacking Your Mind". There was a segment about California law enforcement officers 
receiving training on implict bias. As part of this training they are shown proof of how minorities are treated differently by police. The specific example in the show was how officers are much more likely to claim that a cell phone or other innocuos object held by a black person is a gun than when it is in the hands of a white person.
So wouldn't it be bizzare if a California law enforcement officer who has had this training and been shown proof that police treat minorities differently still insist that police DO NOT treat minorities differently?
Just an interesting hypothetical question.
