Most policing is in minority neighborhoods, but not necessarily most crime.
For example, white drivers carrying drugs is higher, but Black folks are more likely to get stopped and searched for drugs.
So it's not that Black folks commit more of these crimes, they are just monitored more closely than their white counterparts regardless of outcome or reality.
