“I don’t think that is typical of what happens across the country, but it’s not an isolated incident,” Obama said, on the radio show. “I think that there are circumstances in which trust between communities and law enforcement have broken down, and individuals or entire departments may not have the training or the accountability to make sure that they’re protecting and serving all people and not just some.”
