finley, grateful for your time today. you heard brynn explain the anger and frustration. is your community and i know you're disappointed with what you heard from the attorney general and grand jury yesterday, largely peaceful demonstrations last night, but we can't sugar coat it. there was some violence and two police officers shot. what is your sense and your temperature check, if you will, on your community today? >> well, yesterday was extremely disappointing, very frustrating, so we're hurting. we feel as though our city was held captive for the last six months and to hear what came down yesterday. i can't begin to explain the amount of trauma that people have been sent through and what they are feeling, but we're also motivated because we understand that if there's going to be change, we're going to have to have the mayor on down, there's going to have to be change at every position. >> one of the interesting wrinkles, maybe interesting is not the wright word in this is that you have an african-american republican and attorney general who is leading this investigati
