For much of America, when a person senses a threat to their safety or even their life, the solution is simple: call the police. However, that is anything but simple for Black people. Ethnically diverse neighborhoods see significantly more police shootings than white neighborhoods, according to BioMed Central. And PBS reports that two-thirds of Black people in America do not trust the police.
