Description

Chief William Scott says he feels conflicted as a black man watching national protests against police brutality. He was a young LAPD officer during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and he says that experience shaped his view of policing. Scott supports calls for San Francisco's department to be defunded and for officers' responsibilities to be narrowed. | Get full Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
