Tool. So they cannot accomplish systemic reform. And so if, for example, we do not have a policy addressing a ban on racial profiling, for example, and that continues to be a factor in Law Enforcement in a particular community, it will defeat the purpose of the bodyworn camera if that purpose is to help reiterate Law Enforcement and the Community Together and their approach to Law Enforcement. I really appreciate all your answers. Again, im grateful to the chairman for calling this. As the cochair of the senate Law Enforcement caucus and someone that worked closely with Law Enforcement in my previous role, it is my hope that some of the different organizations you represent will Work Together to help develop some model guidelines and some model policies.

Weir and mr. Bruder. I realize not every jurisdiction has mandatory recording of interrogations and how would you compare body cameras to other types of interrogations . What are some of the issues that you dont have with the interrogations that you have with the body cameras . Thank you, senator, for the question.

It was november 22 and i was already at cal. And came out of classes. And there were clusters and a great sun on the campus. Lawmakers passed the civil rights act. That same summer students around the world travels to the south to try to register africanamerican voters. This is during mississippi summer project. You will not understand the Free Speech Movement if you fail to see its a continuation of the Civil Rights Movement. We were part of something bigger than us. There is a Civil Rights Movement going on. It was led by africanamericans. It was an assertion that the old way is not going to rule any more. That change has to happen. Part of that change happened in the fall of 1964 when those students returned here to campus. They also returned here to the small brick sidewalk. That misunderstanding parked the Free Spee

Williams. Good evening. Late today we learned the u. S. Supreme court has agreed to take on and likely decide the issue of samesex marriage in this country once and for all. Few issues have ever moved this fast in the history of our american society. Just over a decade ago gay couples could not get married anywhere in the u. S. Now its legal in over twothirds of the country. As the New York Times put it late today the pace of change on samesex marriage and both popular opinion and in the court has no parallel in our nations history. Our justice correspondent Pete Williams starts us off with late details from the Court Building tonight. Pete, good evening. Reporter brian, good evening.
