It's not a mystery that racism and bigotry are a problem with American police.

We already know it because of their actions.

We know it because of who they target. We know that they are racist

and bigots because of who they shoot and who they take in alive. But a brand new study, the first of

its kind that takes a deep dive into the social media

post of thousands of police officers.

It confirms what we knew, but with hardcore data. American police are stone cold bigots and they aren't

the exception either. The bigots are the norm and even though a few police departments have started offering what we call implicit bias training

This study proves that implicit bias training won't work because hundreds of thousands of

American police aren't implicitly biased. They are explicitly biased.

And there's a huge difference. Let's dig in. This is Sean King and you are

listening to the breakdown.

The breakdown. Breakdown. The Breakdown. The Breakdown.

The Breakdown.

The Breakdown. The Breakdown.

Journalism is so important. Without journalism and social media, I don't even think

we'd know a fraction of what we know about the brutality, corruption, and bigotry of American police.

Now we know it personally because of our lived experiences, but without journalism and

social media, we never would have heard about the corruption and brutality of police in a town called Ferguson.

We likely never would have heard that American police weren't killing people every two to three weeks or every two to three days like most of us thought.

But they are to this very moment, killing at least three people every single day.

The databases that were tracking this violence helped us understand the magnitude of the problem.
