50 Yrs Ago American Police Debated George Floyd Situation On National TV

1971 · PBS

David Hoffman's description: This was on national public television (PBS) in the prime time in 1971. It was considered shockingly bold to present this debate and to hear police officers and chiefs of police honestly and bluntly state how they saw the racial injustices in the department and in the society. Some things have clearly changed for the better. But it is, at least for me, strangely familiar and uncomfortable to see what has not changed. Since the murder of Floyd George, once again, police injustice and inequality is front and center in the news across America. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6wBro4B4pf9xnBh9Xi2zcQ
