Should the police apologise for wrongful stop and searches?

@sholmeslewis says the police need to be more accountable for their actions.

He thinks the police have only apologised because of the media and public outcry in Bianca Williams’ case.
Former police chief @peter1fahy says frontline police are under huge pressure to carry out stop and searches.

He says it's unfair to criticise frontline officers doing their job when the problems stem from systemic underlying issues like failed social policies.
'I won't say it's unconscious bias, that takes away the responsibility from the person. It is conscious.'

@sholmeslewis the only way to change the relationship between the police and the black people is to educate both officers and the community.
