When any part of the American family does not feel like it is being treated fairly, that’s a problem for all of us. . . . It’s not just a problem for some. It’s not just a problem for a particular community or a particular demographic. It means that we are not as strong as a country as we can be. And when applied to the criminal justice system, it means we’re not as effective in fighting crime as we could be. (Remarks made by President Barack Obama when establishing the Task Force on 21st Century Policing, December 18, 2014)
