of racism with the american police has become such a big issue that a conscious awakening in some police stations has started we are in norwalk connecticut. going back to school with in small unit growth for three days these twenty five offices we'll learn how to get rid of a racist prejudice is this optional training is given by two former agents their mission is a challenge make these offices understand that they too have to judge this is what we're going to learn today is it a possibility that everyone in this room has biased as police in a biased manner and you don't even know that you've done it i can tell you the story you'll hear from me is i helped police in the biased manner i know that now didn't realize that twenty or thirty years ago this lady trainer uses her testing experience as an example in role playing in the first simulation the suspect is
7:04 am
a white woman. all officers are to be reporting party calls i reports there's a woman sitting on the bus stop across the street he's been robbed several times he thinks he may have gotten us to respond. but the two offices have to control her. blow ups or tell you i'm well how are you good when suddenly grew out of my that we're going to have to come your husband your kids are just an accident over there you have to come here courtesy of her kids her kids and her husband were enjoying all that i think written on your hat he was there like they're leaving you not to come cuddle so i'll fill in the confusion the two police officers let her go without even searching had the guy next in the area we were replayed this all right now are ok and shallow down or this time the trainer chooses a black suspect what would happen automatically bronzer to grow they're going to

7:06 am
want to. change the way i'm working with no part of the i will be more self will your training is designed to teach teach to teach us the rest of the police officers my karma to the. your fair or impartial. jury where we already are fair and impartial of t.v. or fair or the head of this department office this training after the numerous cases of police violence throughout the country while this is not what this shows our community that we're doing everything we can to make sure we're policing in a fair manner is going to make our job easier we're going to trust us more and everybody wins so it's really it's a win win the only point on which this manager loses the price sixteen thousand dollars it is one of the most expensive optional courses the only case in which it is financed by the ministry of justice is when recent blunders were committed few agencies have been trained so far but since ferguson demand is soaring i'm going to

black history acknowledgement has witnessed. in his speech barack obama makes an analogy between the come immigration and the recent events in the country. he admits that there is still a lot to be done. of course the more common mistake is to suggest that. ferguson is an isolated incident. that racism is better. than the work the drew men and women to selma is now complete. we don't need the ferguson report to know that's not true. where does need open our eyes and our ears and our hearts to know that this nation's racial history still casts this long shadow upon us. on the bridge in selma many share the same feeling many still have the impression of living in a racist country. black people are popular anywhere not in america not in france on
