Over the weekend, the San Jose Police Department placed four of its
police officers on administrative leave for posting racist and
anti-Muslim comments in a private Facebook group. This latest
scandal comes days after San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo issued a
nine-point plan aimed at reforming, but not defunding, the city’s
police department. Given these recent developments, critics of the
police are saying that Liccardo’s plan does not go far enough to
address systemic racism. We’ll talk about this latest incident, the
efforts to reform the department and what the next steps are.
