Summary
Urges changes in the manner in which police officers are trained when dealing with the public; these changes should include (1) de-escalation - talking to and calming down agitated, weapon-wielding suspects and suspects who run away and then struggle when they are caught; (2) cultural sensitivity - police should take into account the perceptions minority groups (Black, Latino, Muslim) have of the police and how those perceptions may influence their actions; (3) community engagement - officers being aware of the character of a community so that everyone in a particular community is not treated like a potential lawbreaker.
