Guess what: if every cop is going around doing mental statistics about who is 'more likely' to make a mistake, they'll introduce bias because they are biasing their sampling with their pre-conceived notions. If you spend your whole day chasing black people and white people get no oversight, then of course you'll be introducing bias.
So whether this cop was being overtly racist or not, he was perpetuating an inherently racist system.
