Stopping and listening we still live in a divided segregated world. Put all these pieces together of the week. What did you see as you watched first the videos of the Police Shootings and deaths and then the deaths of Police Officers. Im still processing this. I mean, it doesnt make i mean, it makes sense in that i understand the actual details of what seemed to happen according to what we know, but the more this happens, the more confusing it gets because this was centuries of us trying to live together and not being able to. Its hard because policing has its own requirements, having being a good citizen is a whole other thing and when they run up against each other, the tension that comes out of that is bad and dangerous and i think that one of the things that for me is really interesting that i think is it might be beginning to happen despite the atmosphere around what happens this week being extremely toxic is people thinking about how to talk about this, and it cant just be black people speaking up on behalf of themselves. It has to be white people talking to each other about empathy and about understanding what day to day life is for not just black people but gays and lesbians, immigrants, people who are under constant threat just atmospher atmospherically, psychically. Ch Hillary Clinton asking for empathy for black people among white people, that was new. Felt new to me anyway because thats been the thing i noticed about this is that in this time, trump is sort of or the conversation about whiteness and rallying white people and seeming to exploit or being accused of exploiting this sense of white disenfranchisement, if such a thing is possible. And so you have this atmosphere now that just seems really charged and i think what has to happen is somebody has to both unite i mean, somebody who is capable of doing leadership, maybe not necessarily nationally but connecting all this stuff and getting us to talk about it and then it will be interesting to see how this incident is the these two incidents and then the incident, tragedy on in dallas sort of gets people to come together and talk about this in a way that is productive. President obama was in the unique, somewhat strange position of being overseas when this took place. He was in a nato summit and had to step to a podium three different times to address something that happen in this country and you mentioned a leader stepping forward to take a step in explaining what is happening and trying to unite. Here is president obamas attempt to this week. I firmly believe that america is not as divided as some have suggested. You know, the legacy of slavery and jim crow and discrimination didnt suddenly vanish with the passage of the Civil Rights Act or the Voting Rights act or the election of barack obama, that things have gotten better, substantially better but that weve still got a lot more work to do. That was an Important Message because a lot of people said this is 1968 in america riots in the streets and some of the press we saw coverage of newspapers saying civil war and things like that and the president in that moment was trying to turn down the testimony. I think thats right and part of why hes cutting his trip short in spain. He wants to come back and continue to try to calm all of the concerns, the heated rhetoric right now. Look, this is a very personal issue for this president. We saw this in the wake of Trayvon Martin and ferguson and he created a Police Task Force aimed at really trying to bridge the divide between communities cidiacono. Deputies and there ar siddy yeah cone know. Progress. I mean, Police Deputies across cidiacono. Y have d their training, thousands of Police Officers now wear body cameras but if you look at the statis c statisti statistics, actually more people are getting killed in policeinvolved shootings and before Police Officers are getting killed. This is clearly still an issue that is so complicated and so hard to get at. Hillary clinton to your point has made this issue central to her campaign in the primary. Im told shes going to be talking about it a lot this week. Its a challenge for donald trump. What will we hear from him . Will he layout policy prescriptions for example . You know, its interesting, you have African Americans as westly said feel under siege by the police and Police Believe they have targets on their back because of rhetoric out there in politics. Youve worked on these issues. What do we do from a policy point of view to stop this . I blame politicians for having gotten to this point with our Big Government incarceration system. The United States has more men and women behind bars than any other nation in the world. We spend billions of dollars incarcerating our own people and the clinton era crime reforms were terrible, mandatory minimums and the laws on crack cocaine and putting people behind bars for drugrelated offenses, nonviolent destroyed families within this country and i think that we really it is the most pressing issue to undo the modern day jim crow laws. From a policy point of view. Thats different from a traffic stop where somebody is pulled over for a taillight. How do we change policing in those moments . I mean, i dont actually know from a training standpoint how you do that but i think prolonged and frequent exposure to people who arent like you is part of it and not to perceive i mean, this is sort of, what were talking about in a lot of ways is pathology. Its like a pathological i mean, what we talk about when we talk about unconscience bias is a misperception of the person around you or the idea if youre pulling someone over and that person happens to be black, he could be more dangerous than another motorists that you would be pulling over. I dont know what the actual solution to this is except having being around people who arent like you. I think i mean, for Police Officers this is particularly tricky and this is i dont know what the solution is from an Actual Police training standpoint and thats what these task forces are tasked to do. To get at this problem. I know i mean yeah, it speaks to the issue of community policing. Charles ramsey the head of the Police Task Force also Police Commissioner in philadelphia really made that a focus in philadelphia. It did change things. It did improve Crime Statistics there but it takes time in dallas. Dallas is just a model of a nation for what they have done to demilitarize their police force and its a problem across the board in so many cities an influx of money with hope land security like ferguson with hum fees. We are policing with tools that are weapons of war. You mentioned chief brown the country got to know in dallas was out front and has been out front on the use of tasers than lethal force and community policing, things we ask Police Forces to do continue to do that and still left with this situation. Obviously, a lot to talk about. We want to mention serena williams. You watched the match. In the modern era some good news. Dont we need to talk about serena as one of the three, four, five greatest athletes male or female of all time . Yes, thats beginning to happen but took this for it to begin. I mean, shes 30 shes going to be 35 soon. Based on the way she played yesterday when everything is working for her, her serve was i mean, angele is a great returner but if she cant get her racket on the ball. There is no point there is no rally. Serena is going to win. Thats defining age. It used to be if you turn 25 youre done. Shes about to be 35. Shes going to win two or three more, four more, five more. What i love about yesterday is she then went on to play a double match with her sister. So incredible. Absolutely she was ready to go.

It was off by one second. A group of americans got together, figured out how to fly a ship for five years traveling 1. 7 billion and hitting its plan mark to within one second. Incredible.

None of us would ever do that, would we . Free will. Its his life. If he wants a ring, let him get a ring. Thank you very much. This can only be good for the nba. The next low goes to Donald Trumps tolerance for the common mosquito. Speaking at a rally, the Presumptive Republican nominee for president made clear where a Trump Administration would stand. The democrats, oh, there was a mosquito. I dont want mosquitos around me. I dont like mosquitos. I dont like those mosquitos, i never did. Youre coming around. He really should not campaign in the deep south. Its going to be rough. I love how he says i never did. The boston taxi driver that returned a suspiciously large amount of cash left in his cab. He dropped a man off and realized the passenger left a bag. When he opened the bag hoping to find id to return it, he found stacks of cash, lots of them. 187,000, he brought the money to a Police Station where it was returned to the owner who gave busy a reward of 100 and he gave him another ride to the hotel. You got to give him a stack. To be clear, this was a homeless guys inter tense. Its true. This happened to him before. There was another that is the good samaritan.
