Our firm is part of the National Police Accountability Project. The Project released a statement in response to Trump’s racist comments. In part, the statement describes how “We are concerned by police abuse of all races, and are aware that many white people are mistreated by the police. But police misconduct directed at Blacks is a special problem that grew out of the existence of slavery, separation of the races through apartheid, the myth of Black inferiority, and the continuing existence of white privilege. To deny the importance of these extraordinary factors is to be blind to the reality of life in America.”
