Explaining to my folks how Cop is a race got them to really get it. Followed that with how the chiefs who do the hiring and training, the commissioners who do the policy-writing, the mayors who use them for political capital, the wealthy business owners who fund the mayor and believe it's all necessary for profit, and the common person who believes they could suddenly reap the profit ... it's a self-perpetuating ecosystem.
