This during a public virtual forum, hosted by a Facebook group called base Southern Oregon Wednesday night.
The group’s aim is to elevate black voices within the community. One of it’s main goals was to get a commitment of cooperation from police with liaisons for the black community in the rogue valley.
A national spotlight was thrown on police relations with people of color this year after George Floyd’s and Breonna Taylor’s death at the hands of police officers.
Wednesday, the local police chiefs pledged to do their part, but the panel of officers said the outcome isn’t always up to them.
