    Do you mean the tendency to think that anything that black people holds are gun? This cultural and psychological problem is from the indoctrination by American media to subconsciously associate black people with violence and deliquency which cause errors in quick judgement by police. The American police should realize this racial biases and should be training the police to remove this subconscious racial biases by now. Whether they provide the anti-racist association training or not is another question.

      I thought the american police is aware of these racial biases and chose to uphold them on purpose. I thought that most cops become cops because they like the police force for what it is.

      Additionally, police are often given “warrior training” to associate the general public as an enemy and imminent danger to them (though, the inherent media bias does make that more dangerous for BIPOC peoples who end up being made to interact with the pigs)
