Louisiana State Police Col. Lamar Davis Says There's No Systematic Racism In Policing
Manage episode 278307854 series 2633302
State Police Col. Lamar Davis, who's taking over Louisiana's premier law enforcement agency amid recent controversies of a Black man dying in police custody and racist intra-agency emails, said he doesn't believe systemic racism exists within the department.
Davis, who is Black, also said he's never been the personal target of racism within the department.
"I base my beliefs on facts," Davis said this week in an interview with USA Today Network. "Until someone provides facts showing systemic racism, I tell you that has not been presented to me."
Davis replaces former Col. Kevin Reeves, who retired last week following a series of racial controversies involving the agency.
