I think the real problem is the militarization of police forces. And I think that’s really negatively impacted police relationships with communities. At the same time though, especially in the Deep South, there have been police departments who have been interconnected with the KKK which is an even more disturbing problem.

Add in too many cops do not live in their policing area. That tends to make us and them thinking. It would be so much better to have members of the very community as police of that community. They have a better feel for the people and the people have a better feel for them.
