An empirical survey showing use of lethal force is similar but use of any force is 50% more likely based on race seems to support my point.
Agree about anecdotes. Disagree my opinion cannot be swayed (this is not twitter and I certainly don't fully agree with "the left").
If the assertion is that all rich people are treated the same, regardless of race, then only examples are needed to refute it.
But, beyond anecdotes, the national statistics indicate there are disparities in policing based on race ((1) your citation strongly supports this assertion (2) as an aside and without reference, there are similar damning statistics for incarceration rates and jail sentences, and this is still just in the realm of criminal justice):

"ABC News analysis of police arrests nationwide reveals stark racial disparity
Black people were arrested at a rate five times more than white people in 2018."
