I know places that put an officer through sesitivity and cultural diversity, as a part of in-service training, and it should continue. Armour said a technique that can work is teaching police officers that racial profiling is immorally wrong. Many officers don't see themselves as bad people. Tutoring them in a different way, appealing to them in a higher way might help them. He added that discrimination is everywhere and in everyone.
Racial discrimination is a public health problem, but with many, it is subtle.
Many don't realize they are doing it or they use rationalization for doing it. Amirah Muhammad, a Torrance resident, who heard about the forum on the radio, said she disagreed with Armour's theory. Grimes, who has been practicing law for 25 years, said there is a code of silence with cops. The officer who does this must be held accountable. Klein said that in situations in which a police officer must make a split-second decision, the use of force should be judged a certain way.
