African-Americans need to reduce crime in their neighborhoods, study law, and follow a protocol of behavior when interacting with law enforcement. I would throw in video recording the officers as well.
Law enforcement needs more training on deescalation as well as racial bias. Officers should record their encounters. Biases in detainment, sentencing, arrests, convictions, and the court system in general must be addressed as well.
Of course, the problems are not this simple, but every little bit will go towards some peace.
My understanding is the department didn't really move until this video debuted on YouTube.
