214. Seems like an out of date observation, I don't recall the last time I saw two cops in the same car.

Used to see it all the time but it seems like it has been years. Now, typically one pulls you over and then you get the swarm roll in to back them up/show force.

Maybe this is a local thing but the same goes no matter where I've been that I noticed anyway.

I'm pretty sure the only time I've seen two cops rolling together other than on TV or the movies was at least five years ago. The last specific sighting that comes to mind was closer to 25 years ago now and it was the veteran/rookie combo out harassing and targeting to drum up business.

I like the idea though except that at least on duty, all cops are of the blue race and never felt once like I was getting any better a shake from a black cop and on a few occasions actually considered them to be more the problem in those particular situations than the white one though in general the worst of the worst have been white and usually mid career or later.

I firmly believe the problems are far deeper than racial balance, so deep they substantially reduce the benefits of such a consideration.
Still worthwhile, particularly perhaps from a targeting point of view but less so I believe than what many might hope.
