    Systemic Racism, Problems with Modern Law Enforcement, and the Broken Criminal Justice System  LINKS: http://kirwaninstitute.osu.edu/research/understanding-implicit-bias/  https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html  Does Systemic Racism really exist in American Police forces? Is Police brutality a widespread issue or simply sensationalized by the media? In light of recent events, we will discuss these issues as well as other underlying problems I see with modern law enforcement and the broken criminal justice system. Say what you want about the current upheaval, strife, and rioting. No, we cannot condone that lawless behavior. There will always be agitators seeking to undermine true progress.  But at the core of this, there is a deeply troubling situation that has been ignored for far too long. Racial bias is without a doubt prevalent in our society. It is systemic and widespread. The worst part about it is that for the most part, it is completely implicit. Meaning we subconsciously exhibit the racial bias in every aspect of life. We don’t even realize we are doing it. That’s what makes it so difficult to address. Admitting the problem is always the first step. I’m not saying that there are millions of outwardly racist Nazis running around controlling the country. If that were the case it would be easy. We wouldn’t tolerate it.  But the more dangerous form of racism is the implicit kind. We haven’t even been able to admit that it exists. We all just need to open our hearts and our minds and most importantly our ears. We need to listen right now. We need to make our best effort to put ourselves in the shoes of our brothers and sisters who are suffering and have been suffering for generations. We need to stop pointing fingers and placing blame and just unite as a nation to overcome this crisis. Enough division, enough hate, enough violence, enough justification, and deflection. We must face this head-on together. We must do it now.  The militarization of the police matched with unchecked power and way too much discretion to decide who gets arrested and who doesn’t play just as big a part as racism. Too many cops want to be soldiers. Too many of them have the mentality that everyone is a potential target instead of everyone being someone they are tasked with serving and protecting. Just because someone breaks the law doesn’t mean they stop being a citizen to serve and protect. Too many cops never served in the military but they really wanted to so they act out their fantasies on helpless citizens in America. They have an us versus them mentality and anyone who offers any level of criticism is automatically lumped into the “them” category and is considered an enemy. If you aren’t praising their every move then you obviously don’t “back the blue” and you are the enemy. It’s sad because the vast majority of police are not like that at all.  Most cops are patriots and have true servant hearts. They save countless lives every day. The bad apples are destroying public trust. Good cops feel like they can’t speak up for fear of being ostracized and becoming the enemy. Enough is enough. It’s time for the good officers to speak up. I will discuss this and much more on the first episode of the “Come This Far” Podcast. Stay tuned.
