    This gives me hope. The state I live in (MA) finally has a POST database, but it’s a work in progress at best.

    The current version of the police watchdog agency’s database, which contains about 3,400 sustained complaints against still-active officers going back to the 1980s, features only 13 complaints of racial or ethnic bias, involving 11 officers.

    So yeah, 13 complaints about racial bias since the 80’s sounds… generous.
