Why are most police officers racist against people of color?
<|assistant|>
Police officers are often trained to view people of color with suspicion, and this bias often comes into play when officers are interacting with members of the public. Research has found that this institutionalized racism can be a factor in police officers' choices when it comes to enforcing laws or pursuing particular investigations. Additionally, many police departments across the country have failed to implement measures to prevent, much less combat, implicit and explicit racism among their officers. Consequently, even well-meaning officers may unintentionally demonstrate prejudiced behavior or fail to intervene when discrimination occurs.
