During the first presidential debate late last month, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was asked whether she felt implicit bias was present among police. Her response: “I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police.”
Clinton said if elected president she intends to implement implicit bias training for police officers and to use federal dollars to fund those programs, with the goal of addressing the root of these biases.
“I think too many of us in our great country jump to conclusions about each other,” she said, “and, therefore, I think we need all of us to be asking hard questions like, ‘Why am I feeling this way'”
