'Demonizing cops and defunding departments is madness, but so is telling the police to reform themselves without community involvement,' writes RubenNavarrette.
on May 25, 2020, by Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, Biden—who was then running for president—addressed the nation.— including a ban on chokeholds, the establishment of rules for use of force, and a review of the hiring, training, and de-escalation practices of every police department in the country.a delay—a long one. After the shock of Floyd’s murder two years ago, many Americans yearned for a kinder and gentler form of policing.
As the son of a retired cop who would like to see the administration go further on police reform, I sought out a couple of different perspectives on what good reform would look like. Both men believe the key to any successful attempt at police reform is rebuilding trust between cops and communities. Both are skeptical about what Biden sees as the silver bullet of “community policing,” which the former senator from Delaware championed in the 1990s. And both emphasized that cops can’t do everything, arguing that communities must keep themselves safe with neighborhood watch programs and other citizen-driven actions.
Of course, it can be difficult for a community to cooperate with police when they perceive the institution as being overly aggressive. “We look at the police as an individual actor, or as simply part of the criminal justice system which has a lot of moving parts,” he said. “We need to elevate the profession and think of it as part of the community safety system. We need to ask: How do we create the social glue that holds us together and how do police fit into that? If cops think of themselves as facilitators of public safety and not necessarily as just law enforcers, that starts a deep shift that can change the cop culture.
