about police vail, whether it s justified. if people are dying at police hands, it is unacceptable and we don t have the accountability structures to make it stop are to hold these officers accountable. we often protect them. so, hopefully, we can as americans agree it is wrong. and if we have these numbers that latinos are dying at, you know, significant disproportionate rate of white americans, we need to hold police accountable. i don t need to tell you that there are those who would like to use the issues to divide black communities and latinos that are not black. how do you flip the script to make this an opportunity for unity and allyship. there has always been solidarity efforts. as it pertains to data in regards to latinos, there is no good data about latinx people and the issue of mass incarceration, criminal justice and police killings because of the way in which data is collected by race and ethnicity.
report, they re not going to surprise either of you. but a lot of people might be surprised simply because they don t see those headlines. los angeles times argues that latinos need to be more vocal about police brutality. how much of this is about organizing within latino communities? even the notion of latino is kind of a newly invented category. lara gomez has a new book called inventing latinos, which is there are mexican-americans and puerto rican americans, others identify as white, others nonwhite. with that there s going to be disagreements about what is tutoring police violence, whether it s justified. in my view, though, f people are dying at police hands, it is unacceptable and we don t have the accountability structures to make it stop or to hold these officers accountable. we often protect them. so hopefully we can all as americans agree it is wrong.
would have sustained itself. without accountability structures, with prosecutors that are unwilling to charge officers, you know, in some ways it delegitimateizes our american criminal justice system and we need to do better and demand better. thank you both. today president biden calling a meeting with his national security team as it determines how to respond to recent cyberattacks by russia. as the president gears up to meet putin in geneva. plus, america, israel and iran, a tricky trifecta for the biden administration. we ll talk to ben rhodes right after this. asting relief with a revolutionary, rollerball design. because with the right pain reliever. life opens up. aleve it, and see what s possible. making a fire by foo fighters the best part of stepping into the spotlight
how confident are you in the ferguson commission s ability to create change within the legal and justice structure in the state of missouri? well, i think the possibility for change is there. i think this is a disaster for the president s idea for this problem being solved through body cams. if someone killed your child and someone said well give them a camera and training, i don t think you would be happy with that. i think accountability is the best word the president used. without those accountability structures implemented, whoever will step up and take the reigns they have to think accountability first and foremost. thank you all for your time
engage in which is pretty much a straight admission that there is a constitutional problem. i think the admission was that there has to be accountability structures inside the police department and also outside the plarl. statistics are one thing. we need to be able to make sure that the right incentives are in place. the sunlight that comes to the police department is something that has something to follow it up with. namely, accountability. so community policing as a general matter is a good idea. but it can be used in very different ways. what we need to make sure of, is that there are institutional feet purchases are set in place to make sure that people know what the constitutional standard is. that there are some real consequences for their failure to abide by it. kimberly crenshaw, devon, nicholas, thank you so much for joining me. ahead, reince and the gang were it happen as the republican national committee met this week in boston.
