Corrupt Cops Force Out Black Chief Trying To Reform Department, Racism Exposed

Shawny Williams, the first Black police chief for the Vallejo Police Department, was forced out of the department after facing racism and being threatened. Dr. Rashad Richey and Jackson White discuss on Indisputable. Tell us what you think in the comments below.

“With much hope and optimism from the community, Shawny Williams became the first Black police chief for the Vallejo Police Department in November 2019, only months after local media revealed the agency to have one of the highest rates of police shootings in California, disproportionally targeting Black men.

Williams wasted no time in implementing reforms; banning chokeholds, making body cameras mandatory and instituting new de-escalation policies as well as hiring more Black officers in a San Francisco Bay Area department that had been historically white, patrolling a diverse city of 126,000 where 19 percent of residents are Black, according to the U.S. Census.”
