19:03Now PlayingAn Ohio grand jury has declined to indict the white police officer who fatally shot John Crawford. A 22yearold African American, Crawford was killed inside a WalMart store last month after a caller phoned police to accuse him of brandishing a gun and pointing it at other customers. In fact, Crawford had picked up an unloaded BB air rifle on a shelf, an item that is sold in the store. Newly released surveillance footage shows major discrepancies between a 911 caller's account, and what really happened. The Justice Department now says it will launch a federal review to determine if Crawford's civil rights were violated. We are joined by two guestsRashad Robinson, executive director of Color of Change, a national organization that has campaigned for WalMart to release the surveillance tapes, and James Hayes, founding member of the Ohio Student Association, which has been organizing protests over the shooting.
