Here's some more info and one of the tables that goes with the data. I have to emphasize that these are surveys not police records.

There are some differences among the races but enough to warrant a "fundamental transformation"? BTW what would the race-grievance industry do for money and influence if there were no white people to blame?

About 71% of persons involved in streets stops thought the police behaved properly, compared to 88% of drivers pulled over in traffic stops

In 2011, less than 1% of the 241.4 million U.S. residents age 16 or older were involved in a street stop during their most recent contact with police (table 1; appendix table 2). A greater percentage of males (1%) than females (less than 1%) were involved in street stops during 2011. Persons ages 16 to 24 were more likely than persons age 35 or older to be involved in street stops. While no differences were observed in the percentage of non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic populations age 16 or older involved in a street stop, among those who were stopped, a smaller percentage of blacks (38%) than Hispanics (63%) or whites (78%) felt the police behaved properly during the stop.

Traffic stops were a more common form of police contact than street stops in 2011. About 10% of the 212.3 million U.S. drivers age 16 or older were stopped while operating a motor vehicle during their most recent contact with police.1 As with street stops, a greater percentage of male drivers (12%) than female drivers (8%) were pulled over in traffic stops. Across age groups, the highest percentage of stopped drivers was among drivers ages 18 to 24 (18%). A higher percentage of black drivers (13%) than white (10%) and Hispanic (10%) drivers age 16 or older were pulled over in a traffic stop during their most recent contact with police.

A higher percentage of drivers in traffic stops (88%) than persons involved in street stops (71%) believed the police behaved properly during the stop. White drivers pulled over by police (89%) were more likely than black drivers (83%) to think that the police behaved properly, while no difference was observed between the percentages of stopped white drivers and Hispanic drivers who thought that the police behaved properly. There was also no statistical difference in the percentages of black and Hispanic stopped drivers who believed the police behaved properly.

• ! Interpret with caution. Estimate based on 10 or fewer sample cases or the coefficient of variation is greater than 50%.
• a Includes persons stopped by police during the past 12 months for whom the most recent contact involved being stopped by police on the street or in public, but not in a moving motor vehicle.
• b Includes persons stopped by police during the past 12 months for whom the most recent contact was as a driver in a traffic stop.
• c Percents based on the driving population age 16 or older, which includes PPCS respondents who reported driving a few times a year or more or were the driver in a traffic stop.
• d Denominator includes approximately 2% of respondents who did not know or did not report whether police behaved properly.
• e Excludes persons of Hispanic or Latino origin.
