Police dichotomy Public perception
"Racial assumptions dominate every police officer's career. How it is dealt with is a day by day, incident by incident revelation. The country is ill equipped beyond bitching and whining about racism. This kind of work (racial reconciliation) is intense and demanding of each person to plunge into their own spiritual work, their souls, inconsistencies, and unlearn all they know. Those four things alone are too much for the average American citizen and the police, who reflect the citizens they serve. We are simply in a circle with no end to its revolutions around topics and conditions we expect someone else to unravel and resolve. In the vernacular of the military and law enforcement, and I am a former police officer, this is what we call a 'clusterfuck'!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6.15.15
