The Life of a Black Cop

What price must be paid by law enforcement officers who break ranks with their coworkers to object to incidents of police brutality and racial profiling? For officers of color who take a stand against racism, their rewards often amount to harassment and punishment. In this program, ABC News correspondent David Turecamo reports on the case of police officer DeLacy Davis, who spoke out against police brutality. Undeterred by the flack he has attracted to himself, Officer Davis and others who feel as he does continue to rally to each other’s support to promote fair treatment under the law—for everyone. (22 minutes)
