In light of what happened in Memphis, TN, I want to share my thoughts with GW students. I was both angered and disgusted by the unlawful actions of police, as well as their failure to render aid after Mr. Nichols was in custody. What we saw in the video goes against our values and training. Police departments must be vigilant about identifying bad policing practices early and ending an officer’s employment before anything close to this happens again.
In the column to the right, I've shared my ideas on "A Roadmap to Police Reform", which starts with hiring the right person for this job. Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions.
Raise High!
