How does the process of protective coloration work?

What will be an ideal response?


Black officers, solely by merit of their race, can enter into predominantly Black communities and have an easier time communicating with residents in their role as a police officer than White officers could. Also, by having Black officers on the force, police brutality accusations by members of that community against members of the police department are less likely. Lastly, the hiring of Black officers prevents allegations that the department has racist or biased hiring practices and thereby meets legal requirements regarding equal employment opportunities.
