Black police chiefs express anger and dismay as they try to change their departments from within
Arelis Hernández, Scott Wilson
The day that George Floyd’s cries for his mother reverberated across the country, Chief William T. Riley III walked up to a group of his officers discussing the horror they had seen.
“You know, chief, we already know if anything like that happened with us, we wouldn’t have a job,” one officer said.
Riley, a black police chief who was hired to transform the force in Inkster, Mich., after the suburban Detroit city settled a police brutality lawsuit in 2015, had trouble hiding his delight. But he remained firm.
“You are right,” Riley said. “Not only would you not have a job, you’d be locked up.”
