To hold police at a more stricter consequence for the mishandling of the situations versus it is important that we have to have the police in those neighborhoods. It is a mere fact that we want to keep everybody say. Guest if i can say two things with that. One, ethical policing is not counterintuitive or mutually exclusive. I think committee policing is a requisite foundation of effective crimefighting. The more the neighborhood is distressed and has crimes, the more you need Police Officers engaged in the community. To your question is Police Officers should be held to a higher standard . There are no ifs, and, or butts about it. The pride that we have in our officers is because these are the few men and women relative to the country that have committed their lives and sacrificed their lives in the circus of other in the service of others. They have the power to take freedom and even take life. Every time we exercise that kind of authority, especially in a democratic society, we have
Cannot get an attorney. You cannot get nobody to help you. Host any suggestions for the caller . Guest perhaps he can contact his local chapter of the naacp. I do not know about the intricacies of the case. But i do think that if there are some legitimate concerns, there must be some way to adjust them. Host let us go to cheryl in california. Cheryl, good morning. Caller thank you for taking my call. Senator johnson, it is a pleasure to speak with you this morning.

We went running because we had to use the bathroom and my father was told that we cannot use the bathroom because of segregation. I remember my father quickly gathering us up and snatching the gas hose out and we go
Ontario, oregon, you are up next. Caller it has been refreshing to hear dr. Carsons comments. I believe people need to be accountable for their own actions. As long as people worship obama and al sharpton as idols instead of jesus christ, and with the purpose was, everybody was created equal, we need to take a good strong look at dr. Carson because he is not afraid to stand up to the truth. I really appreciate his comments. Guest courage is something that is severely lacking in our society. A lot of people believe the same things i believe, but they are afraid to say it because somebody will ostracize them or call them a name. This is the land of the free supposedly.

I remember in high school in detroit, there were a lot of people who believed in hard work and personal responsibility. But they would not say it because somebody would call them a name. That doesnt work for me. H
