Other research, though, has found that the diversification of police forces did not lead to less aggressive policing of Black and other minority civilians (Headley & Wright, 2020; Nicholson-Crotty et al., 2017; Rim et al., 2021; Smith, 2003; Smith & Holmes, 2014).

I don't think my ass is showing too bad. Maybe just the crack. This is a quote from your article btw. So there's research to suggest it helps, and research to suggest it doesn't.

I'm not standing against diversifying police forces, I never even hinted that. I'm saying in the current system it doesn't matter. A cop is blue. And look at that there's studies to support my position too.
