“I learned that change is hard,” Foxx answered. “We started this administration talking about the fact that we were going to use our criminal justice system to deal with violence. And those cases that could be dealt with outside of the justice system, we would deal with outside of the justice system. But even as you do that, you have to keep people informed. You have to talk about it. You can’t do things where people don’t understand. Because once that happens, once the misunderstanding happens, it’s hard to unwind that. So I think the biggest lesson that I’ve learned thus far, and not that there aren’t ongoing lessons, is making sure that we are keeping the public informed about not just what we do, but why we do what we do.”
