Great idea that needs to be happening in more places. Things like this create positive relationships and communication.

It is called Community Policing. The Police unions in Washington killed it because that work is "boring"

That's a good thing since Jacksonville University is in a pretty shitty part of town.

I think the problem is systemic because of the training in all police academies

It probably has more to do with criminals not complying. Actually, 99% this

A few PDs in my area do this. Sad thing is only crazy old people show up and say veiled racist things. Cops look annoyed at least usually.

This photo is photoshopped. The cops aren't shooting the black kids.

Shortly after coffee, the cops then served shots to the students to celebrate

When I was in University our campus police did "Pop with a Cop" had a decent turn out.

The South = shoot with a cop; The North = soda with a cop... I'd like to go shooting with a cop come to think of it. That'd be fun.

Are you sure you wouldn't like coffee with with a cop @dailycupofjoe ?

Dammit, you just made me think of how relevant I was yesterday and I did nothing about it
nickwinters
The cynic in me thinks they're taking notes to put into their files on civilians.
Cherishthehead
I'm honesty done with this narrative, this is not community policing and there have been police in high schools for several years now 1/?
Cherishthehead
And there has been no measurable change in policing, this and things like this are performitive. Maybe personally they will be more 2/?
Cherishthehead
Comfortable but it has no effect on how the police conduct themselves in the real world and does not make black people more likely to trust3
Cherishthehead
The police. It just gives the police a good look for a while. Its just like real racist police kneeling in solidarity with blm protestors. 4
Cherishthehead
The systemic problems still exist and things like this address none of them.

Hey Jax cop, I just moved here to live with my grandparents a couple months ago! I've had really good experiences with the cops here so far.

In all honesty, i think having cops and black male citizens interact more NOT IN ALTERCATIONS/CONFRONTATIONS would be super helpful for USA.
angryturtle
Absolutely agree, but even I would like the chance to have a cup with a cop. I'm white, but I'd love the chance to do this.
Trikk
It would also be super helpful if black male citizens stayed with their partners after they give birth. Marriage is #1 predictor of success.
FragileReality
Get the fuck right on out of here with that dumbass shit
Trikk
Why do you have a primitive, guttural reaction to simple facts? Black males are in a shitty position but they have the power to end it.
FragileReality
You're also in a shitty position of just being shitty if you think this is only a problem in the black community, asshole.
Trikk
I didn't say that, maybe you have reading comprehension issues? Take your meds and realize that the biggest issue is their own doing.
Baja2185
Um, this is actually true regardless of race
FragileReality
No shit, but it wasn't pointed out as 'regardless of race' but as a Fox News regurgitated piece of nonsense.
madmattz
I like this. We need cops involved with the community and vice versa. Maybe then the madness will stop
GenitalMantis
That's a logical way to look at things. CUT THAT SHIT OUT!
justicecracker
Its like that for most places. People must judge a group based on the actions of a few or stuff that happened centuries ago.
BangstickMagnum
Honestly, I think that's one of the main problems. If police and the communities they were involved with knew each other well,
Seanthombbomb
So they sat down with football team??

this happens all the time all over, they have meetings like this on a weekly basis in inner cities. Doesn't get clicks or views sooooo
Bugleisthebomb
In my home state in WA they have a some cops who statted a music outreach program teaching drums to highs chook kids. Its only a small thing

Out reach programs are incredibly effective but are never encouraged.

newworldtraveller
Anybody think it's crazy to pay them 5-10 hours a week just to do community activities?
newworldtraveller
Oh shit, I just realized how that read. I don't think it's crazy, should be mandatory. I'd pay taxes for that. Community policing!
JustinBoz
No. Community outreach should be part of the job.
gawdeenie
Community activities are probably the best crime prevention possible
littlmickey
Community outreach makes BOTH parties more "human". If you're involved and care, it shows you as a person and makes you more able to relate
JustinBoz
This is great. It's also one of the reasonable requests on the BLM manifesto.

FrozenRhinoSperm
The problem is that most cops are great people. It's that one out of the entire lot that causes distrust
FrozenRhinoSperm
Most people are great people, too. And it's the few people who would kill a cop that screw it up for the rest of us, too
RookenMillhaf
This was literally Hillary's response in the last debate and everyone is acting like she didn't give a proper answer!
ARandomHelljumper
Meanwhile, Trump encouraged up-scaling police militarization and advocates for re-instating the unconstitutional Stop & Search procedure.
droo46
That's what Hillary said at the debate. You must be some kind of shill. /s
sebawlm
Not likely. A huge part of the problem is that we use cops as mental health crisis intervention and they aren't trained for it.
amw666
MADNESS?!
JaredKidd
THIS IS SPARTA!!
madetheaccountjustforyou
We also need an end to petty revenue raising laws that target the poor, an end to the drug war, and a stop to militarization of the police.
brainplay
Militarization is a direct result new protective technologies. Taking that away puts police lives at higher risk. What would you remove?
madetheaccountjustforyou
Tanks, pretty black rifles and black suits. Though frankly I would take their guns all together.
brainplay
Tanks are nothing more than an armored box and wheels. They used to use Brinks bank trucks before but couldn't use off of streets.
brainplay
Tanks, not different than Brinks bank truck. Black rifles, because everyone loves inaccurate shotguns. Black suits? Seriously?
brainplay
You can't take their guns away. This is the USA not the UK. Our criminals eat theirs for breakfast.
brainplay
The black suits are flame resistant. The scary black body armor protects from bullets and knives. You want to remove all of that?
brainplay
AR-15's are accurate and a rifle. The police during Andy Griffins time used Model 8 with 20rd magazines and even automatic BAR's.
Blastergv9
Not until the media stops reporting only the baity stuff that they know will create more news
discardedusername
This is why I don't watch the news. My stance is if it's impacting enough, I will hear about it. Usually the same day actually.
Clopay
Agreed, but we also demand it. Supply & demand. We watch news for tragedy, they create news about tragedy. It ends with us, not them.
JohnnyTitelips
The madness will stop when people realize that the number of unjustified police shootings is completely negligible, stop sensationalizing (1

them and crying "racism" when there is none, and start to deal with the real shooting problems. 11 or so people are killed in my city (2)
JohnnyTitelips
every week due to gun violence. Almost all of them are black. Where is BLM for this? I haven't seen them. But one or two cops (3)
JohnnyTitelips
*justifiably* shoot a black man a few times a year and THAT'S the tragedy. Fuck BLM, fuck communities of people not owning up to their (4)

problems and trying to throw the blame onto the people trying to protect them, and fuck the media sensationalizing bullshit.
