The ongoing trial of a Minneapolis police officer charged with murdering 46-year-old George Floyd, the manslaughter charges filed this week against another Minnesota officer for killing 20-year-old Daunte Wright and new video released Thursday showing 13-year-old Adam Toledo being fatally shot by police in Chicago have given fresh fuel to the debate over policing in America and whether communities of color can trust the officers they should be able to count on to protect them.
