   In previous research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of   
   Sciences, Camp and his colleagues analyzed more than 100 hours of police   
   body-cam footage and concluded that officers’ language was less respectful   
   toward Black residents than their white peers.   
      
   Compared with white residents, Black community members were 57% less likely to   
   hear the officer use words such as “sir,” “ma’am” and “thank   
   you” and 61% more   
   likely to hear words such as “dude” and “bro” and commands such as   
   “hands on the   
   wheel.”   
      
   For the new paper, Camp and his colleagues focused not on what officers said   
   but   
   on how they said it.   
      
   The scientists analyzed hundreds of audio clips — each roughly 10 seconds   
   long —   
   from routine traffic stops of Black or white men. The researchers filtered out   
   the high frequencies of the sound clips, which essentially rendered the clips   
   unintelligible but left the tone of voice intact. They also masked the   
   drivers’   
   voices with “brown noise,” so that anyone hearing the clip would not be   
   able to   
   guess the motorists’ race.   
      
   The researchers then asked more than 400 people — a diverse group of white,   
   Latino, Asian and Black volunteers — to listen to the clips and rate the   
   officers’ tone of voice.   
      
   Across the board, clips of officers speaking to Black men got lower marks for   
   friendliness, respectfulness and ease than those of officers speaking to white   
   men — even though the listeners were not aware of the drivers’ race.

   That isn't just systemic racism, it's also personal racism.
