Talk:Kerner Commission/Archive 1

Untitled
I have a question about this Kerner Commission. I am doing a paper on it and it says..... "The Kerner Commission concluded that automobile partols alienated officers from the community. How have departments taken steps to overcome this problem?? Has this been successful? Why or why not? I really dont know what to put....I am not to similar with this. I am not asking for a answer to the question. I just dont understand it. Can anyone help?

Link broken
The link to the actual Kerner Report results in an error 404. I think if there is one working link in this article, it should lead to the one thing that it is about. Cheers! --24.209.34.49 (talk) 18:45, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Improvements needed
The article is sketchy, incomplete, and not well balanced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.178.129.99 (talk) 14:05, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
