RUSH EXCERPT
PLASKETT:  "Thank you for having me this morning. I hope you are doing well. The congressional black caucus and leadership met with director Chris Wray yesterday for a very frank conversation about what the black caucus is looking for and what we are looking for from the FBI. From the federal bureau of investigation which is charged with the protection of Americans and individual civil rights. We are concerned about accountability in the police department. We are concerned about excessive use of force. We are concerned about systemic racism in the United States and actually just taking the form of police brutality now. We recognize that it has many manifestations throughout social, economic and community structures in the country.
