There are many communities in the U.S.A. where it's still considered completely normal to call the police whenever "suspicious" black people are about.
I grew up in such a place but I didn't know it at the time because it's not something my parents ever did, and they've always been politically active in their support of civil rights. But I'll bet maybe 30% of the people in my 99% white"home town," the same sorts of people who voted for Trump, felt it their civic duty to protect their fellow white people by calling the police on any black person who looked out of place. And the police didn't treat everyone with equal respect. Any black person who talked back to them risked arrest and violence.
