@ Probably not so much as WHO, but WHAT is fostering lack of proximity. The current system of how neighborhoods are policed needs to change in order to foster trust from the community. Back in the early 20th century, cops walked their beat, not casually drive through it in a police cruiser; it’s the latter system that needs to go away and bring back walking the beat. Cities have grown exponentially since the 1930s, so police could drive their cruisers to their beat, aka community, and then rove the neighborhood. Stopping to talk to the people at their level and on their turf will foster the trust that is so absent today.

It shows that you care and that goes a long way in the black community.

Black people need to see you in the community regularly and not just when there is an incident. They need to know your name. They need to feel like you think they are innocent and not guilty when they interact with you. They need to feel like you see them as human beings and not criminals. Then they can see you as human beings and not murderers.

There is a distance now, police are NOT part of the community they serve, so when they are called, it's only ever to trouble, so they always react as if its trouble. They need to become people first, cops second, walking and talking to people instead of distance.

If you're going to talk about police brutality you first need a native black man, not an immigrant black man. Second he needs to present data to show the disproportionate rate of black men being killed by police officer. They are downplaying their involvement in killing black men unjustly and the brutality we face.

There is no discussion to be had as police are not racist and they mistreat everyone not just black ppl per they have a slave master mentality and anyone who doesn't fully bend over for them they go into full SM mode... Twice as many white ppl are killed by police than blacks; every year only less than 10 black ppl are killed every year by cops meanwhile THOUSANDS of black ppl are killed every year by other black ppl yet there is absolutely no outcry from blm ppl about this... black ppl, though 13% of the population commit over 50% of crimes and violent crimes... Over 90% of all negative police interactions of blacks is caused by ignorant, wreckless, and overly emotional black ppl exacerbating non situations, thus self-inflicted... Black culture is the problem as it's what feeds the issues... All laws and restrictions to hold black ppl back are and have always been from democrats (party of slavery and racism) yet black ppl overwhelmingly vote dem thus self-inflicted destruction

The part where you said you look for black people everywhere you go, YES!! The level of comfort I feel. I live in a predominately white area, & I barely see people that look like me. The very few times I do, Its such a warming experience & we always exchange a short conversation or even a smile. Its an instant connection & it makes me day.

Something that people should recognize is it’s also the opposite. I’ve been in settings where I was the only white person around or there were only a few. It’s hard, you are uncomfortable, they aren’t your people, I get it. But a simple hello, or how are you doing goes a long way for me? I think what we need to do is start recognizing that we are different we aren’t the same. But bridging that gap can happen if we just took the second to say something to some one of the opposite color.

“They got arrested and charged almost immediately-“. Actually, it did take them a while to press any charges and a lot of the times cops don’t get held accountable so then again that is the problem within how the system works. And the cops who killed Floyd all got bailed out which btw the bail system is another issue. 76% of people in jail have not yet been convicted of a crime but they are in there anyway because they could not PAY their way out. They’ve made bail too excessive and a lot of the times they charge at less fortunate communities which a lot of the times are filled with marginalized groups.

You can’t rush justice. You have to file the correct charges otherwise the act does not meet the elements of the crime they are being charged with. If you are missing a single element, then you can’t charge someone for the specific crime. That is why it is important to be thorough and comb all details before filing charges, otherwise people walk free, whether guilty or innocent.

@Maze to confusion You are wrong. Civil rights has always benefited all people. Any benefit obtained in the past has also benefited all women and other ethnic groups. With the exception of gays, their was immediate benefit. Gays were most recently able to benefit from systematic discrimination because of laws that were established after the 60s civil rights movement. “Seeing” more white people is irrelevant to the conversation. The relevant conversation is whites who do not nor have not ever interacted with anyone but whites who think they know anything about other people except what they see on tv.

As a black cop, I found this conversation lacking in certain perspectives. Yes, we as cops are human but notice that the host said, and is often true, that black people don't usually see black cops as threats. But what I felt was missing was the black cops who also understand the fear of our kinsmen because we're privy to certain mindsets on this job. I'm sure all of those officers believe themselves good people, but in this setting you wouldn't see any of them be anything but professional. Ask us how some of our coworkers have problematic views when the veneer of professionalism is removed. Anyway, it is good that the conversation was had but maybe make it actually uncomfortable next time.

I think this was good, personally. Not TOO uncomfortable, but not necessarily an easy conversation to be had. Especially when it’s not only being recorded for public viewing, but everyone you work with is right there watching you talk in the moment. They should totally do a second episode with these officers and get deeper in, though. Establish a solid respectful atmosphere first, then delve into something that can make people think deep. Shake things up when everyone’s a little more okay with being shaken. Perhaps if there were fewer people present, it might actually yield more open and personal honesty since most coworkers aren’t present to judge you. Or more group interaction with all the people present in the audience to make it less “all eyes on you” for those in the main chairs!

@Prince Jaren they are the punchlines of your jokes, the caretakers you take advantage of, and the people you deem undesirable because you view them in a negative light, wether that be because of how dark they are, their attitude or the way they dress. black men hold just as much prejudice against black women as anyone else that *isnt* a black women, the only difference is that you come from us. tldr: black men can, they did, and they do. not all, but some.

Eating crow is hard, eating the fallout from someone else's bs is even worse. I feel bad for and I worry deeply about people on the force like him. Most people join to help, and a not insignificant amount join for the power trip and the fantasy. Knowing that your well meaning intentions were warped by pro-police propaganda and you became part of the problem is devastatingly humiliating, to the point you may react involuntarily at first by angrily denying you've been tricked. It's a normal and natural reaction in a situation like this. He's incredibly humble and willing to keep up service while learning. I've met only one other officer like him before, when I was a teenage runaway.

Great job on these. Been enjoying the series.

This could have been a series on its own! Travel around the us and speak with police officers from various locations. Next time actually have POC there asking questions as well for a deeper conversation

I will repeat this until it's heard: We need every cop who is good to stand up and publicly call out every racist cop. Until then it won't change.

Unfortunately some of the higher ups are bad as well... and its very unlikely that any cop would stand up and publicly call out a superior, when that would mean effectively ending the police for themselves (getting fired) AND possibly put themselves in danger.

How do you define racism? By what metric does a non racist cop call out a racist cop?

When I was growing up, the cops that would patrol my neighborhood were some of my favorite people ever. They would stop and talk to the kids, teach us about their job, one even gave us their card with their number on it and told us if we ever need help, he'd be there for us. If we can get back to that this country would be a better place.

I think that's a bit of a illusion Bobbi. If you look at the history of policing in the United States, it has always had serious problems. If you drop in a white middle-class neighborhood for instance, then your experience police officers would not give an accurate picture of a problem.

@@FirstNameLastnName No, "people" don't do that. Sure many minorities might. But you got the opposite problem as well. most conservatives seem to assume that police violence was always justified. If all people truly believed cops where racist killers, then a lot of them would have been imprisoned whenever they beat up or shoot people. Yet this happens extremely rarely, which instead points to an unrealistically positive view of cops. Unless you assume the jury is rigged by cop lovers. Most likely juries represent an average of the population and in the US they seem to aquite cops for crimes which would have landed them in prison in other countries.

We are still at that. People are being mislead by the media and the sick, racist ideology from liberals and the left. 99% of police offers are good. Look at the statistics. Only 9 black people were killed by a white police officer in 2020. That same year 48 police officers were murdered by black males. Police officers lives are the ones in danger.

This was really good. ❤

Omg! How am I just learning about this channel! ❤️❣️❤️

This was a start. 👏🏾 What i do find lacking is here: - confronting the problems in the system - deeper dive into the accountability thing - responding to “immediate justice with the officers” in the GF case - talking about acknowledging that they often defend the badge more than the issue at hand - not having just the willing and “wokend” officers speak.

I appreciate that he has this series and recognize that they're made to help white people feel more comfortable. Its a nice first step but many of them and this video specifically was pretty light weight. He didn't ask tough questions and these officers are open and recognize to some extent the issue. That helps with the narrative that all cops aren't bad but no questions were asked about holding the bad ones accountable, changing the culture and routing out racism in the system.

When talking about defund the police I feel like people take it personally without realizing its not a personal attack. We are not saying take their pay check. We are saying stop using their budget to bail the bad cops out. Use that budget to pay a social worker to come with every cop to help de-escalate situations because they are TRAINED for those specific situations.

*I* am saying take away their paycheck. If they murder somebody like George Floyd or anybody else like that and smile on camera, take their job, take their check, don't have a city settle something, take the money away from the cops directly. Then, put them in jail and blackball them if they get out of jail ever. Period. Defund the police can mean several things, but if nothing else, take away some of these extra pieces of equipment they abuse. They are too militarized, and they misuse or overuse force when it comes to black folks.

@@Iloveswedes I agree, police that enact police brutality should be immediately be fired and stripped of their pension. But shouldn’t we punish the officer, not the department. I mean if he/she just did the action why should the rest suffer. And I believe that if we take money from a department that would affect the quality of officers responding to calls n stuff since we took money away from them that they could have spent to hire competent cops. Plus I don’t really think that police are militarized, in my opinion I think that they’re just modernizing and learning from what happened to them in the past. Their Long guns or AR15s are there because why not? Criminals have them so why should they be outgunned, the main reason why the police have AR15s is because of the North Hollywood bank shootout. Their Kevlar vests are there because they don’t want to get shot at or take a bullet. The armored cars that they have are there because they’re bulletproof since the police don’t like getting shot at.
