What do you think it would take to stop police from shooting unarmed blacks?

I don’t know. It’s been going on for years now. We need to start policing ourselves.

Hopefully, putting people of color into more positions where they can change laws. There’s no accountability.

Better training and more officers from the black community who aren’t so afraid of us. They need to realize that we’re just as human as they are. We need better relations between police and the community.

They need to change the laws to hold the police more accountable.

It’s going to take better training. Police officers need to be more compassionate. They’ve got stereotypes of blacks and there’s a lot of fear that goes along with that.

They need more diverse cops. There are not a lot in Boston.
