  > https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/09/police-.. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/09/police-.... 3 people "screened and analyzed" 1.1 million calls and found out that there was a (presumably temporary) effect on minorities after one much-discussed incident involving minorities? The rest is cherry-picked examples and wild conjecture and not thorough analysis of the data. > illegal immigrants do not call the police for their fears. Um, that's because they're illegal and has nothing to do with racism.

    It doesn't look great when you are presented with evidence then try to find some reason to disbelieve it.

      I disagree, I think that's how we should expect dialogues to proceed. To uncritically accept any evidence presented to you is a much less effective method for reaching the truth.

    An illegal British person is going to face far less scrutiny than an Indian migrant from Central America.
