I agree a good standard would be to require mentioning the reason for the stop, but more importantly ending things like qualified immunity. There's zero accountability. Who polices the police?

I don't think anyone is denying the racial element, but it's easier for me to see it as a symptom of intergenerational poverty and disenfranchisement rather than systemic malpractice from individual officers.
In this case, I wouldn't want to downplay the progress we have made on policing the police. The only reason this study exists at all is because of the proliferation and availability of police body camera footage. That's a big win for everybody.
And it can still be racism in that racism explains economic disparity to a degree. My intent isn’t to absolve racism from being primarily responsible.
