Mr. diggs -- thanks for joining us this morning.

Before the saturday gathering - you told us you were hioping there would be an awareness toward police injustice.

Also before the protest, you also hoping there would be unity and peace and justice and eauality for everyone.

What are some ofr the steps that need to be taken to make that happen?

The naacp has come out with specific actions it wants taken - like releasing video of body cams by police - and audio from 9-1-1 phone calls.

Is that something you will be working with the legislature to see happen?
