Where did you get this idea from?! I have a bad feeling this is more misinformation from Ibram X Kendi. Correct me if I'm wrong.

No, police patrols long predate the existence of the United States. They actually could be argued to have their roots in slavery, but only if you're talking about slaves in ancient Egypt...

Not sure I agree about police patrols in Europe being less visible, but they’re certainly less aggressive. The police are downright friendly in a lot of places in Europe.

Thanks for the link! That's very interesting. And yes, great that people are talking about it. Hopefully it leads to action.
