When it comes to the police, many of these communities, and the politicians who serve them, might well adapt President Clinton's phrase about affirmative action: mend, don't end, policing. Mend the hurtful gap between law enforcement and people of color so that cops become servants of the community's best interests while protecting community members from the neighborhood's worst impulses.
-- Michael Eric Dyson, Long Time Coming, p. 92
