To be clear, @pkbites : this is aggregated data across large sample sizes:

> Data from 21 state patrol agencies and 29 municipal police departments, comprising nearly 100 million traffic stops, are sufficiently detailed to facilitate rigorous statistical analysis. The result? The project has found significant racial disparities in policing. These disparities can occur for many reasons: differences in driving behavior, to name one. But, in some cases, we find evidence that bias also plays a role.

It’s risky to try to extrapolate from every traffic stop _to you_ or from _you_ to every traffic stop.

But this is a good place to start the conversation, as a nation.
