YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Senator Jeff Sessions’ controversial attorney general nomination comes amidst increased demand for racial justice in policing, fueled by the highly publicized deaths of black men at the hands of police.

But there are some who say that protests following these deaths have fed a narrative of biased policing that the data does not back up. What are the statistics, and how should we interpret them?

We’re in New York City, home to the largest police force in the nation, debating the motion:

Policing Is Racially Biased

Joining us are two former police officers on either side of the debate. Arguing in favor of the motion are retired NYPD detective Marq Claxton, now of the Black Law Enforcement Alliance, and Gloria Browne-Marshall, a former civil rights attorney turned professor of constitutional law at John Jay College.

Opposing them: Heather Mac Donald, a fellow at The Manhattan Institute and author of The War On Cops, joins Harry Stern, a former police officer turned civil and criminal defense attorney.
