Main rookie in this video looks like a half wit… but hey we need diversity
Wow, popular vid, in 6 days there’s 4.5k views, 84 comments.
Race doesn't matter when they're all murderers, police are the enemy of our modern society
What they didn’t tell you is as a black woman police officer you are going to get it the hardest from black people/suspects
How can you be a police officer with blonde tip dreads you can’t do that in the military no matter your color. Lowering the standards. Plus give the number on how many black people quit the job this past year because of these stupid riots “protestsâ€ÂÂ
Slave patrols is not where police officer came from that’s a lie that’s bounty hunting which is not a criminal justice career never have been. So that Dog the bounty hunter y’all love so much his career came from slave patrol not police.
That's what's up!!! ✊ðŸÂ¾
67% white and 12% black. Pretty much it's the same as the population of the country?
Congrats to him. Some people sit on the sidelines and only talk trash. Others, see a problem and actually take action. We need more people who do and less who just talk.
Oh please don’t buy into the agenda of elites to divide fellow man, they’re evil!
They will treat their own black people worse than the racist white police men and women as we have seen so many times
Wow ðŸ‘ÂÂ
He might need to look at black officers interaction with white officers when not in uniform.
Too bad that RACIST Joe Biden yanked a bunch of funding from HBCU's that Trump provided!
Definitely need to push to hire police who actually LIVE there within that neighborhood or at least reflects the demographic of that neighborhood.
Shout out to them both. The sista is chilling in Webster Groves making good money. St Louis County pay is always more than St Louis City pay. Less crime in Webster Groves. The brotha in Caruthersville on the other hand. Well don't let the smooth taste fool ya.
I love this story, another HBCU making a difference, progressing in the right humanitarian direction. May all these HBCU schools develop a program like this to get more people of color patrolling the streets. Fantastic idea.
This isnt good
More race-baiting. I expect nothing less of NBC..
Best idea in a hella long timeðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
More affirmative action..🖕
Do they have criminal justice degrees?? They still have to go to a real police academy lol. They will be the same.
