Sen. Warren: ‘We Don’t Have’ Equal Justice Under the Law, ‘Race Matters’

RUSH EXCERPT:

WARREN: "So thank you very much. I start with the principle, the four words carved above the United States Supreme Court. Equal justice under law. That's what I believe in but I understand today in America we don't have that. That's right. Race matters and we need to call it out. Now, I'd like to follow some of the very practical efforts that Barack Obama, President Obama, put into place when he had his Justice Department going after the police departments that were violating the rights of young black men and women across this country.  I know there's much to criticize this administration about. But the very fact that the Justice Department under President Obama had worked with police departments around the country -- and they were not finished, but had worked with, and some had already reached the point of signing consent decrees, of starting new training, of trying to put themselves on a better path. There are many good people in law enforcement who want this to work and want to make it work if they have the right resources, if they have the right opportunities, if they can do community policing.”
