    This whole interview is very good. But at about the 14 min mark he argues that more black police officers does not change things. He explains why.

    If you havent watched this Alex Vitale interview, you are missing one of the best overall interviews I’ve seen in the last ten years.

    “At root, they fail to appreciate that the basic nature of the law and the police, since its earliest origins, is to be a tool for managing inequality and maintaining the status quo. Police reforms that fail to directly address this reality are doomed to reproduce it.”
