I can think of one small town police interaction I had about 20 years ago where I would have loved for the white cop to be recorded, pulling iron on a white kid who was walking home in single digit temperatures after his truck broke down. The guy was a jerk. He shouldn't be a cop. But he wasn't a jerk to me because he was a racist. He was just a jerk that knew he could get away with being a jerk.
