Seeing systemic racism is not saying all cops are racists
Ernst: Theresa Greenfield has stated that our law enforcement system is systemically racist, meaning that our law enforcement officers are racist. I don't believe that.
I do feel that we need to work more in our communities of color. I think that's really important.
Greenfield: We have systemic racism in all of our systems and have for generations, including our policing system. But that is not saying that our police officers are racist.
We need to work together like we did in this state to pass the plan where we attack this kind of racism, requiring racial bias training, requiring de-escalation training, banning chokeholds and so many other things.
