PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - U.S. police need to recapture the lost trust of minority communities, a problem vividly illustrated by protests after the police killings of two unarmed black men, said a veteran police chief tapped by President Barack Obama to address community relations.
The large demonstrations in New York and sometimes violent protests around the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri, have underlined just how broad that trust gap is, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said in an interview on Thursday.
