    Police are well-intentioned

  • Lorie Fridell, Associate Criminology Professor-University of South Florida said, "Racial profiling was the number one issue facing police, and I came to understand two things. Bias in policing wasn't just a few officers in a few departments; overwhelmingly, the police in this country are well-intentioned."

  • Racism

    Racism exists in the US: Minnesota Governor

  • Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton stated that he is forced to confront that this sort of racism exists in the US; he added that Minnesota authorities are investigating into the matter.

    Dayton asked the US Department of Justice to probe into the matter, and the Department said it would provide its assistance.

    US President Barrack Obama stated these killings are tragedies that trouble every American.

  • Quote

    Americans should be troubled

  • President Obama, who was in Poland for NATO Summit, stated: "All of us as Americans should be troubled by these shootings because these are not isolated incidents. They're symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system."
