In recent weeks, the White House has reaffirmed its commitment
to strengthening "community policing" around the country. The U.S.
Conference of Mayors has coalesced around the same theme, releasing a report
days ago with recommendations for community policing measures to be
adopted nationally. The suggestions for building better "relationships"
and boosting "trust" are comprehensive but, for a national crisis
brought on by the killing of unarmed black people, there's one thing
conspicuously absent from the public policy solutions: the
acknowledgement of racism.
