but do you think race played a role in ferrell's death?n you think about this situation, if a white guy is running down the road at a white cop, would he have been so quick to shoot? >> well, we have to look at what the cops are thinking about to begin with. they had 2:30 in the morning. they had a woman who was screaming that there was a sort of home invasion, violently knocking on the door. the other thing the woman told the police was that she was looking for a gun. obviously that doesn't mean that mr. ferrell was armed, but when a gun enters the mix the cops respond in a heightened level of concern or fear. now, when they look at it and when mr. ferrell was coming towards them did they look at him and for a moment's notice say, he's black, i'll act a different way? there's no evidence to support that. i certainly hope it didn't happen. but we've talked many times you and i, erin, and other people that there is this concern the way blackma bla'blackmai black way blackma bla mailes are iden in the system. >>> up next the newly crowned mi
