A huge issue society is currently facing is racial profiling. With police forces being exposed to implement racial profiling in arresting citizens, it has woken people to how the race problem is still prevalent today. With our project focusing on the politics of image I believe this is a relevant video commenting on how institutions can specifically use image to target people and inflict unnecessary force, even going so far to wrongly convict purely based on the colour of one's skin
the link below is a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences and led by Jami Jivani. Police forces around the world have often been criticized for racial profiling and for acting with unnecessary force. After being a victim of racial profiling himself, activist Jami Jivani wanted to change the way that the police engage with local citizens. In his TEDxToronto talk, Jamil discusses the importance of mediating the relationship between the police and the public. Though there may be fundamental flaws in the system, Jamil believes that by developing a dialogues with police officials, we can initiate positive change.
