While all can agree that something needs to be done about this, the question is - WHAT? Should they defund the police - or give them more money? Should they abolish the police - or increase police presence? Are there other solutions that too few people are talking about? Van Jones tackles these questions and more with Bill Bratton, the former police commissioner of New York City, Los Angeles, and Boston. Bratton was associated with the controversial "Broken Windows" and "Stop and Frisk" approaches. Later in his career, he experimented with more community-based approaches to policing. He talks about his decades of law enforcement experience with surprising candor and self-reflection. Van (a criminal justice advocate) and Bratton (a former Top Cop) discuss what it takes to build trust in police, while making our communities safer.See less
