14. I would not say that Black and Lationos don't want to

be cops. These white cops will arrest and put black/latino kids in jail for having a joint, i.e. They would not arrest a white kid for that same action. Consequently, many boys/girls of colors have a record. That can be an impediment to apply to the force. Many kids of color see how the cops operate, they don't trust the cops and therefore would not want to join an organization they don't trust. So to say that black and latino don't want to enter the force is really not that simple. There are impediments to them applying for the force.
