Where does racism come from in any group of people? Racists.
Where does the police racial prejudice come from in America?

Oklahoma wouldn't even admit that happened until like 2001.
Racists are not just born and instilled with values to hate or discriminate other people. It's something that is learned. The biggest failure that USA has done is crappy policies to combat racism during education. A unified curriculum and proper infrastructure in school administration and funding would do wonders for starters.
If at all, women are probably less likely to say the n-word or commit hate crimes because they're encouraged since fucking birth to be docile and quiet.
I would guess that guys socialized to be hatefully racist are probably also socialized to be violent, too. The same types of families pass down those values.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
The racial prejudice of police comes from the racial prejudice in our society. Even on GAF, half the people who talk about equality are probably bigots who would never think of themselves as such and haven't had enough experiences to understand their own prejudices. I was lucky to grown up in a house where no one talked about other races disparagingly or used stereo types to describe groups of people, but such things are actually very common, ubiquitous, even.
Even with that said, my exposure to things like old movies and TV shows propagated in me certain kinds of bigotry that I didn't even think I had until I found myself having negative thoughts of people who showed no negative behaviors around me. It is so ingrained in our culture that it will be a long time before everyone starts to recognize it and remove it from their own lives and the lives of their children.

Maybe they were resisting! Stahp race baiting!
well I could see women being encouraged to be enthusiastically racist. Showing off the family fierceness to make papa proud, not hard to imagine.
I guess it was a pointless thought exercise,"what if tribalism and control enforced by violence hadn't been cornerstones of our human development".

How many police are there in America?
How many police incidents per day?
How many result in the unwarranted death of a minority?
Look, one wrongful death is too much, but the OP painted with huge brush strokes and I think we need to take a step back and see these incidents as more isolated than the media would have us believe. Remember, a cop doing average, good things isn't at all newsworthy.
How many "good cops" speak out against the horrible bullshit they witness within their places of work? Never heard of a cop ever doing that, they attempt to justify everything or remain silent. If they turn a blind eye to criminal acts within their own place of work they have failed their only job which makes them bad cops.

Who is "they"? The ones under scrutiny? Of course their lawyers are going to say things that make them look better. Otherwise I don't know what you expect the average cop to say about things they have zero insider information about.

IDK why but people don't seem to want to believe that a human simply can't fully separate themselves from their job.
So if assholes with "racial bias" are given the power and backing of the Blue Gang/ Brotherhood or any powerful job in general then guess what? It becomes easy for them to be racially bias when doing their job.
In other words ... I don't think Cops become racially biased assholes AFTER becoming cops.

If I see proof constantly that the Police system is corrupt or broken then I highly doubt people who work personally with it don't know. You'd think there would be cops out there trying to prove that they still stand for justice by speaking out or... arresting the officers who are commiting these crimes. Like I doubt the entire NYPD didn't see the video of a man being wrongfully killed. There's lots of things they could be doing.
Hundreds of cops are being brought in from all over the place to harass protesters you'd think at least one would realize that they weren't hired to attack the people they were supposed to protect. If there were truly good cops then, why aren't they protesting this bullshit too?
Police officer whistleblowers? That's a great question.
No such thing. Like others have said, it's a brotherhood. If you're going to be a whistleblower might as well leave the police force.
Exactly, that's why you can't say "not all cops". They are willingly supporting everything bad they do just by being there.

Are you both familiar with internal affairs?
There is a system in place to whistleblow on crooked cops. It's a big deal when a cop is accused of being corrupt. Whether or not it's legitimate or for show is the bigger question.
This seems like cherry picked questions with some fallacies sprinkled I . How many times a year does this happen? In 2014 for example? How widespread of an issue is this? How many different states and cities is this observed in? How long has this been happening and is their any pattern? If someone of majority was in the same position, how would it be handled? These are all much better questions that help show the root of this problem.
Keep in mind that this isn't limited to black people being killed by police. This issue here is the well documented institutionalized racism of LE against not only blacks but all minorities. The "few bad apples' shit is laughable. Blacks have largely silently struggled with this for decades, it only become news worthy when someone is killed and people become fed up. Just because you might only pay attention when nationally covered stories surface does not mean that things are just fine every other time.
We're well aware of this. We are only pointing out how useless it is.

We need more black cops.
As an outsider it's crazy to see what is happening in America right now.
Sure we have some racism problems here in Germany but not on this scale.
I can't even imagine what would happen if some of our cops would kill a minority on video. It just seems like the american justice system is broken when under very questionable circumstances there isn't even a indictment(Not even talking about prison).
I have read earlier that cops killed a 12 year old kid (i think in Cleveland) thats just unimaginable for me. There must have been another way than to shoot a little boy with a toy gun (even if it were a real gun).
From what i've heard the problems with cops are that they don't really have a lot of training compared to other developed countries.
