distrust in public safety

In recent years, there have been many cities roiled by officer-involved shootings of minorities. The communities of several cities have led to demonstrations in the streets and debates in the classroom.

These cities distrust their public safety organizations and require a change.

Find a recent news story that demonstrates how a community has come to distrust a public safety agency, or use one of these events:

• Corrections: New York Prison Escape: How It Happened, and How it Ended
• Probation/Parole: Chief Judge Mum on Completed Inquiry Into Cook County Probation Agency
• Law Enforcement: Task Force Finds Chicago Police Department Plagued by Racism

You can select any public safety agency that has an ethical issue. Supply a link to the news story, and answer these questions in your initial post:
