The most dangerous weapon in law enforcement | Brian Willis | TEDxNaperville

There is a growing perception of distrust between law enforcement officers and the communities in which they work. Part of this distrust stems directly from the dangerous words police executives use when communicating with their communities. In extreme instances, these words can even incite mass disturbances and rioting. Can simply choosing better words be the solution to building relationships between law enforcement officers and those within their communities or will it require an entirely new system of development?
