This links to the issue of community policing and the representation of minorities in police personnel. We are trying to increase community policing so that people feel safer and more protected. This leads to having more minority police officers because, as stated in today's presentations, Chicago is 68% minorities, but 51% of the police force is white. Minorities feel scared when approached by a white police officer and this is a problem that people are trying to downplay. This is shown in the film when the Escobar family is on a trip and they are stopped because they assume that Escobar is with them since they are related. The police officers immediately ask where they are headed and tension is felt between the police officers and Escobar's family. This tension can be reduced by increasing the number of police officers who look like you, which can make you feel more comfortable dealing with them
