And seriously speaking, how do you stop racism from happening? It's not like you can tell who is a racist when recruiting them as police officers

You don't stop racism from happening.

The best you can do is raise and teach children equality the best you can but even that won't stop racism from rearing its ugly head in some form.

As for the police, you can only offer equality training and deal with violations of that training harshly. Unfortunately, if you see a racist piece of shit cop being a racist piece of shit and you report it higher you might find yourself without a job or find yourself getting bullied or without help when you need it.

The only real way to fix institutionalized racism in the police force is to stomp it every time you see it and arrest and jail violators, sympathizers, and cover uppers of the racism. But even that doesn't necessarily fix the issue because if you go too hard, because you run the risk of galvanizing the ones that get in trouble, especially if it's over something small in the eyes of the racist.
