It's a horrible tragedy, the way I look at this is I don't think it's smart jump to prejudging conclusion, before evidence is in. Before justice is served. But there are clearly some c, some, some real deep seeded problems. And the best way to fix these problems is to listen to people and engage with people, not isolate them. One of the problems II find in looking at how to better fight poverty is we isolate the poor, we marginalize the poor, we need to reintegrate the poor, and what happens is, if, I think a lot of taxpayers, a lot of people in America, have been basically given the sense, inadvertently, from the government. Then you know what? Poverty just pay your taxes, the governments going to fix this problem. You know, you're working hard you're, you're, you're, you're working maybe two jobs. You pay your taxes and we the government will take care of this. That's not good enough, that's not going to cut it. That's actually the wrong impression. People need to get involved in their communities. People need to get involved not necessarily with their money, but with their time, patience, and their love. The way I think we better approach this is fighting poverty from eye to eye, soul to soul, person to person and reintegrate our community. I think the marginilization of the poor. Is one of the worst stories, of the war on poverty now that we're in its 50th year and we have the highest poverty rates in a generation. So, Rand Paul has suggested that we need to demilitarize the police. Would you agree with that? I don't exactly know what he means when he says that. Well, you see them. They're turned out in their riot gear. They're, you know, they've got those big, A, again. I think, I don't want to be one of these to judge to conclusions. And also, I don't, I don't want to try to, to, I want to be respectful of the family. And the death, and the community, and what's happening. And I don't want to try and pursue some other kind of agenda in this moment. I think it's most, more important to be respectful of what's happened. Try to get to the truth and let the investigation take its hold. Our police tactics, do they need to be reviewed? That's something we should look at it when the dust settles on all this. But the rush to judgment, with some broad brush, assessment on all law enforcement tactics with respect to this particular incidence, I think it's a little premature to do that ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Paul Ryan on Ferguson","description":"Congressman Paul Ryan says he's wary to make judgements on Ferguson before all of the facts are available.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/FZBBIMPI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-08-20T15:47:13.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/FZBBIMPI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/FZBBIMPI/","duration":"PT2M21S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/FZBBIMPI/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
