There’s needs to be some kind of anti-racist training on all levels, not just with police officers. After all why would police officers think twice about shooting a Black or Brown person when they know that their supervisors agree with them?

However, I do recognize that it takes more than just a training course to unlearn biases and prejudices that a person might have. But I think if cops received ADEQUATE training on racial profiling, the history of racism, etc., they’d be better equipped to handle certain situations.
