Only a small fraction of Reading students attending a panel discussion on police and minorities say they trust their local police.
About an hour into a discussion about the frequency of black men being beaten or killed by white police officers, Wynton Butler, Reading School District director of social services, said he wanted to take the temperature of the room.
About 80 students and adults had gathered Monday in the cafeteria of the Olivet Boys & Girls Club, 677 Clinton St., to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a panel discussion on the issue.”If you trust law enforcement right now, raise your hand,” Butler said.
