The campaign for racial justice and demands for police reform in the U.S. have taken another deadly turn.
An African American man, Rayshard Brooks, was shot and killed Friday night after authorities say he tried to flee an arrest attempt by two white police officers.
That has led to more outrage as thousands continue to demonstrate for justice.
And Ilyasah Shabazz, the daughter of the late civil rights activist Malcolm X, discusses calls for racial justice.
To discuss:
- Todd Belt, professor and director of George Washington University’s Political Management program.
- Rashad Richey, radio talk show host, “The Rashad Richey Morning Show”
- Jadan Horyn, contributor, Metropolitan Magazine and a conservative commentator
