>It's ridiculous and unfounded to claim black people are "under-policied". You should try reading the book "Ghettocide."

When the son of a black detective is murdered senselessly in South L.A., a relentless white detective is brought in to solve the case, and Leovy gets a riveting story in which to package her theme." >The empirical evidence for over-policing is overwhelming The study specifically agrees with the thesis of Ghettocide: "The second theme was Black youth’s experiences with the police cultivates mistrust and unsafety, with subthemes including police seen as more likely to harm than help, police not resolving injustices against Black people".
