Again, whats the alternative? Human being making this decisions. Human beings with their own biases and life experiences. I trust a model where I can at least control the inputs it considers, is auditable, and created by intelligent thoughtful people than some police chief.

The primary victims of violence are often of this same race as the "accidental racial bias" you're talking about. You're not doing anyone any favors by misallocating police resource to be more "equitable" without considering actual need. Only 7% of Americans want less policing in their neighborhoods. I imagine people that live in high crime areas would prefer more policing.
