“Cities will always need policemen in some form, ‘Metropolitan Peace’ is a reminder of how delicate a balance of power is enshrined in these roles.
We need to tackle the loss of transparency, accountability, and trust head-on, and constantly re-examine the covenant between law enforcers and ordinary citizens if we truly want to make our communities more peaceful and inclusive.”
