The NY TImes has an article speaking of the state of black officers in the police department in modern society.

“If you speak with nine out of 10 officers of color they would tell you that when they hear sirens, in their head they are thinking: ‘I hope these cops know that I’m one of the good guys.’ ” - State Senator Eric Adams

Now imagine what 9 out of 10 non-officers of color think when THEY hear sirens.
