it's not that the police on their own unleashed anger and rage and violence. it's an entire system. the ferguson, you can only call it a scheme which was to raise additional revenue for the city by accessively ticketing citizens and targeting african-americans for that system. >> dorian i want to bring in you and the panel as well. >> thank you, melissa and joy. i want to take a step back and ask a big question that is why are the police at the heart of so many key moments in civil rights history? >> because they are on the front lines of racial and social control of america. by that i mean poor people. when we're talking about the african-american experience, there's no moment in u.s. history where police officers were not on the front lines of regulating freedom and opportunity in this country. absolute fact. let me connect you back to selma because it's fascinating in the report they u point out that not only do they have systemic bias
