\n\t“<\/span>Well you might kill me today, but I’m innocent, I’m not guilty, and I will never say I’m guilty<\/em>.” (Fannie Lou Hamer, Speech at Loop College, 1970). In the 1960’s, police interaction precipitated many of the race riots that plagued urban America. Today, while belief in equal justice stands as a preeminent political tenet of American society, abiding skepticism exists among many racial and ethnic minorities.  Their mistrust is not surprising given the history of differential treatment in the system of criminal justice and police conduct.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
