That assumes that all disparities of this kind are due to racism but the fact remains that the disparities in the racial description of arrests matches that of descriptions given by victims when they report crime.

Let's focus on trying to avoid innocent people being victimised, either through crime or misapprehension, than making the assumption of ill intent where there is none.
