hammer to drop from the department of justice. does that mean the ferguson police department and the city of leaders agree to major reforms? is that a federal monitor? we have not gotten to that point at all. we re only a week and some change out from the initial report being released. that s the kind of change that the young people who are sophisticated and following what the department of justice is doing and the city leaders are doing, they re keen to what is happening. are they going to dig their heels? it s yet to be seen. all right. on the seen in ferguson missouri trymaine lee, msnbc national reporter and pastor mcbride, great to have you with us tonight. i appreciate the conversation. thanks so much. you can share your thoughts with us on twitter on ed show and facebook. you can get my video podcast at wegoted.com. coming up just don t do it. nike pushes for the closer ties with one of the sweat shop centers of the world.
