Selective institutions like brown, et cetera. There do exist highly competent students people of color. We cant walk away believe all is lost and theres no theres not a sufficient quality pool. We just also have to encourage people outside of our community to think about other places from which they need to source candidates. I want to say that. Thats not to suggest that overall relatively speaking there are far more students under utilized than should be but i do want to make the point its important that we all know, as you guys, to your organizations, that there really is not any kpoous the argument that, you know the myth that the talent pool does not exist is not true either, to be fair.

Caller okay. Yeah my question is in terms of the gentleman from the cato institute, about what makes him an expert on the inner city given all hes throwing out are numbers which tends to not reflect the reality of the situation the gentleman hes talking about some of the realities versus whats occurring in the country.

The police have an obligation to treat everybody they encounter with courtesy and respect and that obligation and too often violated. The police develop rough attitudes on the street in part because of the behavior that they receive in trying to make arrest or investigate crimes.
