Modern Policing: Public Views Unveiled

In the upcoming month, the Presidential Task Force on 21st Century Policing will unveil its findings to President Obama, following its establishment in December 2014 with a mission to enhance community policing and foster trust between law enforcement and communities. The recent AEI's Political Report delves into the American public's perception of the police, showcasing the racial disparities in opinions, yet also highlights some consensus areas. While confidence in police has remained relatively steady over decades, racial gaps persist, notably in police treatment of blacks. The article also touches on public endorsement for some police reforms, reflecting a broader sentiment for enhanced officer training and restrained use of military weaponry. Regional case studies from Los Angeles and New York illustrate the enduring racial discrepancy in police approval, shedding light on the potential impact of high-profile police incidents on public opinion. The narrative underscores the administration's noble intent of bridging trust, though the real impact of recent events in fostering or hindering this goal remains uncertain.


The recent article at aei.org, scrutinizing data from various polls, underscores the racial divide in public confidence towards the police, with whites generally expressing higher confidence than blacks. However, a shift is noted in white Americans' perceptions aligning more with black Americans' over time, especially on police treatment of blacks. While a distinction is made between general attitudes towards police and those towards local police, racial discrepancies persist. The discourse also mentions public's support for certain police reforms like officer training enhancement and limiting military weapons to military use. It hints at a cautious optimism towards bridging racial divides in police-community relations, with the outcome hinging on responses to recent notable incidents.

If you're unlucky enough to be poor and charged with a crime by the New London Police, you'll run the risk of being assigned an attorney like Ryan Ziolkowski. And that's where your troubles start: Backed up into a corner with Ryan looming over you, you're told exactly what prosecutor David Smith wants -and it's phrased as an escalating threat which spans from his talking louder, than talking over you, concluding with threats of jail. I tried to get him to get me the police reports since the charges I was hit with were ridiculously false. ...
