Before I retired from a police department in 2021, we had a "racial bias expert" talk to us in the "command staff" (lieutenants and above) about "implicit bias" and systemic racism in police departments. When I challenged his premise, you'd have though I had 5 heads. Those in attendance couldn't believe I would challenge the "exper."
