Enforcing Equality: Ep. 9: Media, Myths, and the Black Officer: Unmasking the Narrative

Host Connie Morris explores how news, film, TV, and social media shape public perceptions of Black officers — from common stereotypes like the lone wolf, hyper-aggressive enforcer, moral compass, sellout, and token representation — to real-world impacts on community trust, recruitment, and departmental bias.

The episode calls for balanced, accurate storytelling, amplified Black voices in law enforcement, and media accountability to reshape harmful narratives and improve policing and community relations.
