"In a city where the perception is that African-Americans are unjustly
hassled by officers, McRae's and Swain's actions are particularly
injurious to efforts to diminish that perception and to build better
relations with the African-American community. Beyond race, the
officers' actions compromise the trust the community has in police
officers. Losing that trust negatively affects the quality of
officers' efforts to keep us safe."
