The right on Crime Organization. From your perspective of all policing,s working in what do you want washington no as they Debate Police reform . What do you think should happen . Guest first and foremost, dont to one million on a fewficers based different incidents. I think that is what is happening recently. Especially with the floyd incident. Anger and what happened at the floyd incident has generated talk and rhetoric that i think is harmful to the country and to the police arena. What happened to mr. Floyd was a murder. It happened to happen, just so happened that the guy that murdered him was a cop. Anyone think i talked to i did not talk to one cop, one Police Officer, one investigator, no one thought there was anything ok about mr. Floyds murder.

And securing the blefg of liberty blessings of liberty for all americans has taken a long and bumpy road and we still have a lot further to go. It starts with that one step. But at this moment the country and the world are demanding we pick up the stride. Lets follow iowas lead. Lets come together and take meaningful action. And to be clear, the passage of a single bill is not going to suddenly reverse centuries of injustice. Passing laws are a simple part. If we really want to change behavior, we need to commit ourselves to changing our hear hearts. The best way that we can personally commemorate the life of george floyd and the many others before him who lost their lives or suffered injustice is to open our own hearts. Chaplain black summed up the solution best when he quoted to me mark 12 31. Love your neighbor as yourself. Its both that simple and that challenging.

And we have some people that will do introducing to the panels. We will get to that later. So thank you for coming. We are here for a reason. Without the death of mr. Floyd we would not be here. A lot has happened in the last couple of weeks. My goal is trying to define the problem, offer solutions, and talk to each other, not past each other. And i have a short video that is tough to watch. I talked to senator booker about it, the first couple of minutes, but it ends up on a very positive note. We will see if it will go from really hard to watch to something thats a little more acceptable for the country. If you could roll the video. Is
A wendys fast food drive through or as the state president of the georgia and reverend james wood also rightfully observed this is not the 1st time a black man has been killed. For sleeping. Just 48 hours later after the wendys burned in the protesters had to add yet another name to that now growing list of lives lost to Police Violence the world celebrated the birthday of legendary revolutionary mess those. Whose observations on what drives rebellion still ring true to today that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love it is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. But the words and legacy of isnt the only past revolutionary whose spirit you can feel in the fabric of the protests we are witnessing today and whose birthday we celebrate this week across the country and the world from new zealand to philadelphia to parks or coors 1998 anthem changes has become one of the many featured songs that have made up the soundtrack to these protests

Lets unite to ban barbaric choke holds and build a registry so Problematic Police dont just move to another town to keep a badge. Lets outlaw racial profiling and dangerous noknock warrants.
