Deep dives
Policing is Racially Biased
Policing in the US is widely believed to be racially biased, despite the fact that not all individual police officers are racist. The history of policing in the country, rooted in slave patrols, Jim Crow laws, and the war on drugs, has led to disproportionate targeting of black communities. Studies, court rulings, and reports from the United Nations have all indicated that racial bias exists within police departments. While statistics can be used to support both sides of the argument, it is important to acknowledge the historical and systemic factors that contribute to racial bias in policing. There is a need for reform to address this issue and create a fair and just system of law enforcement.
