CBS’ Pegues: ‘There’s a History of Mistrust Between the Black Community &’ Police

PEGUES: "Well, we heard what Mayor Giuliani said. And I think that if you — if you talk to people in the communities, and certainly if they hear what he just said, you know, as the mayor of Dallas said a couple of days ago, words matter. And I think based on what he was saying about black families, it shows that he has, and I’m sure some of the interviews if he were to go and talk to some of the people there, it just shows a lack of understanding what the root of the problem is. There is a history of mistrust between the black community and law enforcement. And that’s at the root here. And two years out from Ferguson, that still has not been addressed. And so you’re not going to get to the root of the problem until you address that issue and until people, like Rudy Giuliani, go to these communities, actually talk to the people who live there and get a sense for what they really feel and what’s really at the root of the problem."
