Broken trust: can youth and police ever see eye-to-eye?

How do emotions about police shape your experience of being young and black in public?  Black youth explain how their early impressions of police were reinforced by their experiences as they grew up. “The situation is so bad, I know brothers who are putting magnets and stickers on their cars that read, ‘Support Our Troops’, because they think displays of patriotism will stop them from getting profiled. That strategy would only work if you could slap a Caucasian bumper sticker on your black self." In this retrospective piece about relations between police and young black men, stories from years past and the present congeal to form a narrative that could only be told by Youth Radio.[youtube=http://youtu.be/JSZt_-PLRSU]
