In almost every highly publicized case of police using deadly force and killing unarmed individuals, the person killed was an African American male. These incidents have caused dramatic erosion in public confidence in the justice system and America’s promise of equal treatment under the law. Minority communities need assurance that our justice system is fair and balanced and is for the protection of everyone. Solutions must be developed to sustain confidence in our judicial.
Ferguson's Fault Lines will also examine other important topics of debate such as:
- The framing of the issues by the media in black versus white
- The policing of black and poor communities by law enforcement officers
- Poverty
- Looting
- Rioting
- The color and face of crime as portrayed in the media
- The identity of the black male narrative
- The relevance of black life and whether and how it matters
