Monday on Political Rewind, activists have been discussing the role of police in society for a long time. But recent police violence across the country has given the movement to change policing new momentum.

Our panelists included Mayor Rusty Paul, Mayor of Sandy Springs, Tiffany Williams Roberts, Community Engagement Counsel at the Southern Center for Human Rights, Professor Fred Smith, Professor of Constitutional Law at Emory University and Jim Galloway, Lead Political Writer at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
