Racial profiling comes as a consequence of modern police's foundations. The North-West Mounted Police evolved entirely to control and frankly genocide native people, and then enforce the apartheid state later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North-West_Mounted_Police Police literally murdered native people off the streets in Saskatoon as well by picking up people drunk or otherwise, and instead of driving them to a drunk tank, or home, they'd drive to the middle of the winter desert and kick them out and drive away.
