It’s not politically inconvenient, it’s socially inconvenient. It’s a straightforward equation where “bad” elements in the black community need to be ruthlessly put away while not being hostile to every black person the cops come across. This seems to be something American cops are incapable of doing. The current black community isn’t helping either so it’s kind of a stalemate.

If you make it your policy to treat one group as suspicious, you'll catch a lot more people from that group. Isn't that what the police has been doing for decades?

So what kind of AI would you train with the resulting dataset? The AI doesn't know about the crimes you let slide or didn't investigate. It will reproduce whatever bias you based your policing on.
