Summary

"Our country is facing growing controversy regarding police-community relations. It is not the first of such concerns, rather just the most recent. In 2014, several high profile police-citizen interactions where lethal force was used by White officers against Black citizens resulted in public protests and riots that drew media attention from around the globe. Members of the public, particularly racial and ethnic minorities, are voicing concerns about what they perceive as overly aggressive tactics and abuses of force; tactics and abuses that they feel are disproportionately directed against minorities. While concerns about police bias continue to grow, police concerns about their safety are also at the forefront of our collective attention. The gunning down of two New York Police Department officers in December 2014 made these concerns exceptionally tangible."--Page 1.
