And influential South Carolina considering endorsing clinton. Dave jordan is here now with more on what the black vote means to South Carolina. Thats an important voting segment, 30 of the voting population is black and theres a huge push to get endorsements. Were starting to see that now. Senator sanders went to harlem to have lunch ch with reverend al sharpton. Hes trying to wrap up as well. The Congressional Black Caucus as you mentioned has endorsed Hillary Clinton can and jim clyburn, has held off on that endorsement. But this is considered a state that is do or die for senntor clinton, according to all of the political analysts and shes starting to release more ads to that effect. This is one of those ads that she releaseded. Something is just fundamentally broken. When africanamericans are more likely to be arrested by police, and sentenced to longer prison terms for doing the same thing that whites do.

We found something that the South Carolina criminal Justice Academy calls gypsy cop,s, theres a statewide police short j a, were looking at people who may work for 10 agencies in five years, they resign at one place, sometimes while theyre being investigated by their own agency and are easily hired somewhere else. Now, let me show you where the problem starts. This is at the academy itself, every South Carolina officer has to be certified, passing a 12week course at the academy. The staff tells me half of the new recruits you see here will stay in Law Enforcement for about a year. The other half, dropping out. There are a lot of reasons for that. Low pay, long hours, lack of respect, more than anything, police work turns out the to be on tv, but someone has to show up when you call 911. And that means problem officers, stick around. Every Agency Within the state is feeling the effects of it from the smaller agencies to the highway patrol. Everybody is feeling the effects of hiring and retaining good officers. So, ive talked to more than a dozen upstate sheriffs and police chiefs, most tell me they go out of the way of hiring the socalled gypsy cops. They continue to find work. Including one officer who worked for three upstate agencies last year. That cop, just resigned again. Two weeks ago during another internal investigation. Back to you. Gordon, thank you.
