They might be on a first name basis with all the criminals, but that also means they have personal beef with a huge percentage of their people.
Can't deny that, it's a well studied and observable issue. The only counter I can give is that normally those biases are right because they've seen them so many times.
Bigger city cops usually end up as violent as they are because bigger cities themselves are that violent. Chauvin didn't give a fuck about Floyd saying he couldn't breathe because every fucking nigger says he can't breathe to get you to let up, and then they jump you.
Weirdly enough Chauvin's a great example of this. George Floydd was actually someone who he didn't abuse. It looks like Chauvin was actually someone the police specifically seemed to task out to do 'dirty work', and had multiple very well documented cases of abuse he kept getting let off on.
