Nitiya: OK, can you actually talk a little bit about police in America? How much does the civilians trust them or what beliefs you have about them?
Todd: Ooh, that I guess would depend on where you live. I grew up in a pretty small town. Im white, Caucasian, and I think that most Causasian people trust the police pretty much 100%. They think that theyre there to serve and protect, but unfortunately minority groups, blacks or African Americans and Hispanic people, Asian people sometimes dont trust the police.
Nitiya: OK, why do you think they dont trust the police sometimes?
Todd: Well, one is because the police probably dont treat them fairly. Often they live, some minority groups, live in poor areas, and in the poor areas there might be higher crime and the police probably have more stress, and they have theyre more ... defensive, and as a result maybe they behave poorly, or they dont treat certain minority groups equally. Theyre more suspicious, and as a result, sometimes bad things happen.
Nitiya: So basically, most of the people do trust, its like that.
Todd: I think, I think most people trust the police. I think, understandably, especially African Americans, dont trust the police because they think the police is always nervous and edgy around them, and that the police might use violence against them, or suspect that they are criminals, when they are just a good ordinary citizen, and so they probably dont trust the police as much.
