If black suspects are more apt to kill police than white suspects, it seems logical to think that the police would be a bit leery when interacting with black suspects. Oh, and in most years (other than 2019) 100% of the COP killings were perpetrated by males. In 2019 one killing was by a female.

Interesting factor - gender. That MIGHT? indicate that improved social techniques WOULD be worth a try. I remember the little BLACK boy in the park with a toy gun and the PoliceMAN that drove his car within pistol range to engage the kid and did NOT wait for backup. Or gave the kid and the situation time to evaluate. Then just BLEW him away. He was definitely MALE. I think I remember? him as being white?
Why not try having volunteer female social 3rd and 4th year college students doing "ride alongs". I would say pay them. But regardless many colleges are not open. Could be a good experiment. Who watches the Watchmen?????
