Election 1976, a look toward the conventions. Your host is political analyst Richard Scammon. Richard this is Richard Scammon. With me here in our studios in washington, stephen hess of the brookings institution. This morning we are going to try and talk with you about the end of the primary season. The beginning of the preconvention caucus and maneuver and discussion and trying to get together various factions to produce a candidate for president and Vice President in the fall. I suppose really when one looks back on this primary season that newn back in february in hampshire, closed down in california and ohio and new jersey, as one looks back, there are two things really that stand out. The first is the rise of jimmy carter. The second, the closeness of the Republican Campaign for the nomination. Steve, how would you evaluate this carter phenomenon . Here is a man who was governor of a middle size state in the south. Pretty well assured the nomination, pretty well assured the nomina
The whole thing i was saying went right over the head and you prove my case again. All that was missing was another cheap shot or a bucket of chicken. Back. D the gentleman yields. The question occurs on the amendment. Im sorry. Thewhat purpose does gentleman from california seek recognition . The gentleman is recognized. Chairman, 13 years ago i partnered with the California State Senate democrats in advocating for an open records act for complaints against Police Officers. Five years ago i cosponsored Hank Johnsons stop military rising the police act militarizing the police act. If you are seeking bipartisan support for police reform, you would have it.

Today, we answer that call. We value and respect the brave and Honorable Police officers who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. We know most Law Enforcement officers do their jobs with dignity, selflessness and honor. They are deserving of our respect and gratitude for all they do to keep us safe. We must also acknowledge that there are too many up exceptions, too many Law Enforcement officers that dont uphold protecting and serving. The reality for too many americans, especially for too many africanamericans, is that Police Officers are perceived as a threat to their liberty, their dignity, and all too often, to their safety. And to those who do not believe it, look at these tragic statistics. Are mor
Jobs with dignity, selflessness, and honor. They are deserving of our respect and gratitude for all they do to keep us safe. But we must also acknowledge that there are too many exceptions. Too many Law Enforcement officers do not oppose the ethic of protecting and serving their community. Instead the reality for too many americans, especially for too many africanamericans, is that Police Officers are perceived as a threat to their liberties, dignity, and all too often to their safety. To those who do not believe it, look at the tragic statistics. Africanamericans are more than twice as likely to be shot and killed by police each year.

Our countrys history of racism and racially motivated violence, rooted in the original sin of slavery, and lynchings and jim crow and systemic racism continues to haunt our nation.
