And so the idea that there's disproportionate arrests of, you know, people who are on the street and, you know, potentially committing crimes as racists, Black cops, Black population, and Black homeless population. How do you reach that conclusion that racism, you have to reach that conclusion because you are biased yourself. And the lens that you're looking through is a lens seeking racism.

Well, that's the problem with these consent decrees. And so we examine these and look, one of the things people need to understand as a lawyer, when I go into federal court and my name as the assistant attorney general for civil rights is on all of these documents that we file in court. Sometimes the attorney general's name is on it as well.

But my name is on all of these documents where we charge somebody. And I have to be able to say to the judge, look the judge in the eye and say, I believe in these findings of my Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. Judge, I stand behind them, and I'm confident that what we're alleging in these papers is true.

Well, Tucker, I looked at these findings, and I and the lawyers who report to me in the DOJ, said we cannot stand behind these conclusions. I can't stand in front of a judge with a straight face and say that Memphis's problems are racist cops. I mean, they're not racist. They simply are dealing with a population that happens to have a particular racial makeup.

The conclusions are not correcting for that. The conclusions are not correcting for what neighborhoods have crime. There's cherry picking of statistics. There's imposing Americans with Disabilities Act laws layers onto these consent decrees that don't exist in the law. The Americans with Disabilities Act does not impose on police requirements of how they respond to 911 calls. It just doesn't.
