Mr. Barton was on our show talking about his article Should Black People Call the Police?.

During our conversation Mr. Barton talked about:

– The reason why he wrote the article – Some of his experiences with the police – What did his parents tell him about dealing with the police and “The Talk” – What does he feel the role of police is in today’s society – Does he feel a good police officer exists? – The fact that 49% of the felony arrests are Black people when only 4% of the population of San Francisco is Black – Do older Blacks have a different opinion of the police than younger Blacks? – Does he believe in community policing in Black neighbourhoods
