You're not going to find any argument from me when it comes to the ineffectiveness of policing.

racism-deniers like you will always have an out.
The UK is one of the most tolerant countries in the world. Law actually protects people from racism. And the police actively investigate racist hate crimes. The police have gone woke. These cops who did this search will probably be hung out to dry. Rightfully so by the sounds of it, assuming it's factual that correct procedure was not followed. Proving that is easy. Proving racist intent by the cops is less easy. It might be individual racism, I don't deny that exists. But this idea of systemic racism is outdated in the UK. Are there still some bad apples in high position? Sure. Is corruption a problem in moving these people aside? Probably. But the general direction the police is taking should, at least from a racism point of view, be something you are happy to see. TikTok videos of them dancing and painting rainbows on their police cars, kneeling for BLM, all that kind of stuff, we seem to be at the point where the police take racism as a crime more seriously than burglary.

Everything I see from the US police force shows me there are actual problems with racism there. I don't see any similarities between the USA and UK police forces. Not in structure, not in methods, not in individuals.

This is one of the problems with left wing thinking for me. Always looking for victims, always looking for something to be outraged about. And then when a story that should have stayed private for the privacy and dignity of the victim goes public, it's gleefully paraded as an example of racism.

You're going to have to show this is not a sample size of one. Otherwise, we can no more assume it's racism than paedophilia.
