the coincidence that black people are pulled over much more than white people. There seems to be some data that supports that. Like I said, when they do the other data, they correct the data for the rates of crime....so, in my mind, correcting for rates of crime takes away the bias from a systemic problem.....Look at weed charges and convictions...it is overwhelmingly towards black people....and the base use data (hard to get those numbers exactly) does not suggest that weed use is overwhelmingly by black people..so why do more black people get busted and convicted for weed use.
I also think it runs much deeper....to how laws are set up, courts and defense are set up as well....so it is probably just more systemic versus just on law enforcement part.
