31. He should give his honest answer about how to fix the criminal justice system

Or however he thinks we can start getting cops and courts to treat black people like human beings instead of like garbage.

If his answer is we need to give black kids jobs, I don't think that answer is sufficient. If that is the answer then he needs to connect the dots better about how jobs for teenagers solves the problem of police murdering people.

One problem is saying policies, so that means maybe using the Justice Department to investigate police abuse, body cameras, demilitarizing the police, and more.

Another problem is tone. That means caring. Say the names of the victims of killer cops. That's what the protesters chanted today: say her name. It deserves to be a central issue in the 2016 campaign and in the country.
