Do Cops Over-Police Blacks in America?
Manage episode 444162451 series 3497541
Is over-policing a racial issue in America? How do we resolve the long-standing problems between police and the Black community? And how does a black cop deal with these tensions?
Do police use more force against Black Americans; if so, why does it happen; and what should America do about it? Would having a more diverse police force help? Would investing more in communities plagued by crime help?
Our guests discuss these questions and also explore their views on police relations and behavior. Is the police force driven by racial profiling and racial bias, or does the media simply spin a heightened racial injustice narrative?
Is police violence toward Black Americans a product of challenges within the black community or a product of racialization of Black Americans?
