This is not to minimize a plethora of issues that I have with modern day policing (i.e. their militarization, lack of dash/body cameras, etc). I do feel like this is an unfair way to analyze this information. As far as I'm aware, most police forces require at least an Associates Degree, if not a Bachelors Degree. So to compare racial makeup of the community as a whole and that of the police force is unfair. It suggests, without explicitly stating it that the police force is inherently racist. If they were just comparing the racial makeup of community members with degrees to the police force, I think it would be a more fair comparison. The largest disparities in racial makeup are going to tend to be in poorer cities, which will naturally lead to fewer people with degrees. It is also worth stating, that from a psychological perspective, a poor city with more crime is going to be harder on a cop mentally and make them more likely to misbehave and overreact. Coupled with the racial disparity (which as aforementioned is likely caused by outer forces), could lead to racial tensions.
