. 鈥淐enter for Policing Equity measures bias in policing. That means we can stop it. One in five Americans interacts with law enforcement yearly. Of those encounters, one million result in use of force. And if you鈥檙e Black, you are two to four times more likely to have force used than if you are White. Working directly with police to measure behaviors and revise policies results in fewer people killed and fewer people in jail.鈥

This incident, along with similar ones in Cleveland, Chicago, and other cities in the months that followed, sparked a wave of protest nationwide targeting racial disparities in criminal justice and accusing the police of using excessive force against African Americans. Are these accusations valid? Is policing racially biased? Or is it focused on stopping crime wherever it poses a threat?鈥 -听Available on Films on Demand through the McDonald-Kelce Library.
