Please watch the following TED talk: After Ferguson: What policing in America is Missing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRP5JK5CebI

  • What are the 2 things that policing in contemporary American society is missing?
    • In your answer, discuss (at length) how these two things affect contemporary police-community relations. (2-3 paragraphs at least)
  • Brainstorm 2-3 other ways (or things that can be done) to bridge the gaps in police-community relations (especially in terms of racism, sexism, and homophobia/transphobia). Note: while there are things that citizens can do, I am asking you to think in terms of what police, state, and federal agencies can be held accountable for doing.
