picture of columbia university where she graduates cool. and long ago, i had a friend at new line cinema, sort of a big company, makes big movies. i was saying to her one day is working on this movie about the black panthers and i was doing this research may really wanted to talk to someone. she said well, i m working with this fabulous screenwriter. she loves the work is man dead and she said he s just incredible and you should talk to him. and i thought that is so odd. i didn t understand. was he a black panther? a friend, it seemed very separate things. a screenwriter for hollywood company and not panther. i was my first meeting with jamaal. i found him to be incredibly soft-spoken and gentle man. i think who is in many ways one of the first time that i sort of saw an african-american who really was working in hollywood and writing movies. and i thought that was really far more amazing that he actually lived this history, that i really admire so much. and from then on we s
everyone then should be behind that issue and strive for change. the first thing is identify. and then to demonstrate. and then to do actions. and maybe, you know, i m old and i m thinking how the 1960 s sought to reform things like war and racism, and they took it to the streets, and they cried out loud, and they demonstrated, chanted, boycotted tax. we have to wake up! we re in a slumber because life is fat in the united states. and we re willing to surrender constitutional rights for our own, you know, image of self-protection. and terrorism abounds. and isn t the police force, you know, wonderful to protect us? that s all era. and what we have to do is point at what is wrong and seek in every fashion or address it within the circle of your own ability to communicate. [applause] my book is called lust for justice and the word lust imply a certain passion. i think that what is missing over the decades as i have lived is exactly what tony is saying. the dissident voice h
right direction. [applause] john? last word. ok. i m not going to say anything about social justice. i have a thought for you. go out and rent the movie to kill a mockingbird. it is a really, really good movie. and it s a really sophisticated movie. you know, the script, you know, you can t get any better. the producer, the performances are wonderful. every bit of that movie when you look at it, try to look, you know, into the actual scenes what they re doing. it s fascinating. it s all shot on a sound stage. this movie is made at the same time that they re making what was that huge thing in the sand? oh, lawrence of arabia. right? [laughing] the same time they re shooting to kill a mockingbird. they re doing it all on the sound stage. there s a reason for that. they re doing it in black and white. you know how they had to push to get that through the studio, to make a black and white film when everybody wants color? they finally invented technicolor and all of
must be protected. but cops that blow cases by violating these rights should lose their jobs and be prosecuted themselves. i hope new chief greg suhr follows through on his promises to clean up the san francisco police department that betrays the trust put in it when it pulls stunts like this. so, what happens when those we think are protecting us from criminal activity become the criminals themselves? what is the mentality that causes this to happen? how much can a police department overcome such a betrayal of trust, public trust? so we re going to explore some of these issues today with our most imminent panel, all of them experts in their field. and we are very fortunate to have them all here. let me introduce you first to stuart hanlon, at my immediate left. stuart is a defense attorney of great renown. he has over 30 years of experience, including some of the country s most high-profile cases. including cases involving police and official misconduct. next to him is our s

[applause] my book is called lust for justice and the word lust imply a certain passion. i think that what is missing over the decades as i have lived is exactly what tony is saying. the dissident voice has become either silent or is yawning itself to sleep. and we can all do something about that. i wrote this book because i wanted tony s dissident voice to be heard. i wanted the art that i did of him showing his passion and his aliveness to be seen. i thought the two of them together gave a bigger p
