Do you have any data to back up that claim, other than anecdotal "evidence"?

Here's some real data: https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rpa11.pdf

Across all races and Hispanic origin, American Indians and Alaska Natives (15%) and persons of two or more races (15%) had the highest rates of reporting crime or neighborhood disturbances to the police. No statistical difference was observed between the percentage of white (9%) and black (7%) persons reporting a crime or neighborhood disturbance to police in 2011.

Also, perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but Appendix Table 4 suggests that minorities are much more satisfied with police response than the average.

I think the massive protests over the last few years indicate that at least one large class of minorities (Black folks) are not “much more satisfied” with the police

And then there is the fact that illegal immigrants do not call the police for their fears.

3 people "screened and analyzed" 1.1 million calls and found out that there was a (presumably temporary) effect on minorities after one much-discussed incident involving minorities? The rest is cherry-picked examples and wild conjecture and not thorough analysis of the data.

> illegal immigrants do not call the police for their fears.

Um, that's because they're illegal and has nothing to do with racism.

It doesn't look great when you are presented with evidence then try to find some reason to disbelieve it.

I disagree, I think that's how we should expect dialogues to proceed. To uncritically accept any evidence presented to you is a much less effective method for reaching the truth.

An illegal British person is going to face far less scrutiny than an Indian migrant from Central America.
