Question

whom the householder trust more then the police?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The outrage much of the nation and world has expressed at the police killing of George Floyd has been accompanied by demands for greater punishment of all of the officers involved. These demands call attention to an often-overlooked element of the problem of police violence: those subjected to unlawful police practices largely depend on other police for protection, but this law enforcement action is typically withheld. This deeply racialized combination of over-policing and under-protection enables and aggravates police violence, contributing to its persistence, frequency, and harm. Calls for justice in this case, as in others, require that we acknowledge the complicity of all of the officers at the scene of this crime and hold police professionally and legally accountable for their unjust actions and inaction.
