Police officers across the country are confronted with dangerous situations on a daily basis. Too often, these situations result in the death of a suspect or officer. Unfortunately, because of prejudice and bias, some police officers may be more likely to view interactions with African Americans with suspicion and fear which can lead to misconduct, negligence, and even fatal errors in judgment. This, in part, has contributed to the ongoing epidemic of police brutality, particularly against African American people. To remedy this issue and bring an end to institutionalized racism within police departments, measures such as more rigorous vetting, comprehensive training on racial bias, and independent oversight mechanisms must be implemented.
