relationship between young black men and police which is important in this case and important in so many cities around this nation. he the d.a. is biracial as i said. your nephew is biracial. the police officer here was white. people want to know how you feel about that. do you think that this was, in your view just a case of excessive force by police? do you think that race played a role in this white officer and your biracial nephew's run-in? what do you think? >> i think it's difficult to say. i know -- i know that we as americans we understand the racial disparities that are present right now, and a lot of the income inequalities that are prevalent also. it's difficult to say that it was based on race but what is known is that my nephew was unarmed and the calls that were placed were in an effort to help him, and he ended up killed. he ended up dead and being shot
