Why are most police officers racist against people of color?
<|assistant|>
The issue of police brutality and racism against people of color in the United States is a complex one, however one major factor is historical and systemic bias within law enforcement structures. Many law enforcement departments were established and initially staffed by white people and the culture and practices were built on implicit and explicit biases against people of color which have been perpetuated over generations. Additionally, law enforcement personnel are granted considerable powers, giving them the opportunity and often the license to exercise inequalities against communities of color.
