92yearold retired judge, out of michigan. He is an incredible guy. He told me once, look, wade, you walk across floors you never scrubbed. You walk through doors you never opened. You have an obligation to do that for those who come behind you. Thats why at 92 he is raising hell and encouraging people to do what is necessary. So, yes, you did walk across floors you never scrubbed. Yes, you do walk through doors you never opened. The key is using the power that we already have in our hands to determine the outcome of change of the we want to see. Thank you so much. What was your question, jeff . My question was please, round of applause is all right. [applause] yes. How do we begin to play a more sophisticated Financial Game in electoral politics .

That is easy enough to do. And were already organized to
Raising that issue. I will investigate myself. Indeed, when you have the Ferguson Police on the ground in ferguson, protecting one of their own as and suppressing the information coming out of that community with the strategies weve seen played out, indeed, what we have is a strategy of suppression.

We were in cleveland, ohio less than ten years ago because a 14yearold kid was shock in the back by a Police Officer as he ran in the other direction. The question is what
We do have historically a policy not to pay ransoms when there are terrorist kidnaps involved. I made that point at the nato dinner and pleaded with other countries to do the same thing.

Tell me whhow the Hiphop Community has responded to ferguson and what are they doing to keep the memory of ferguson alouf within the Artistic Community .

They began to organize on social media. Naturally when it began to be spread on social media, kind of hiphop artists stepped in. You know what im saying . One, young jeezy actually had a show in ferguson i mean in st. Louis the next day.
