Just within the past 48 hours, the president has called for an establishment of a sort of 'Common Core' for police forces regarding training and handling of criminals, at the federal level. The president used the common political tactic of promising federal money and support to go to the police departments that begin and follow the proposed rulebook. Discuss. Would a federally created and regulated rule book do well for police forces, especially ones made up of mostly white officers in areas with mostly black residents, or will this fall to the wayside as Common Core has in many red states? Discuss.
