Empower both law enforcement and communities together
Following the violence rocking communities across our country, Carter advocates to empower both law enforcement and communities to work together to find a better way. "All Americans should feel safe in their communities and if you're
African American, you shouldn't have to worry about interacting with police; and if you're law enforcement, you shouldn't have to worry about doing your job," said Carter."We all have a responsibility to change our culture and bring
this nation through these difficult times. As the son of a police officer, the violence perpetrated by and on law enforcement this week is heartbreaking," Carter said.
"Too often in the wake of these national tragedies people retreat to their
familiar corners making it harder to find common ground," Carter said. "We must use this as opportunity to come together and ensure the security of everyone in our community, including police officers.
