from Training for Transformation:
"The polarization of law enforcement and community members deepens as our nation continues to erupt into national protests and states of emergency in Ferguson, Baltimore, New York, Cleveland, South Carolina, Florida and Chicago after a flurry of unarmed residents were killed by law enforcement. Trust has been broken, the police are scared, communities are unsafe and protests erupting. We know the problem. The question is, 'What is the solution?'"
