Kmele Foster joined host Ben Domenech to discuss possible criminal justice reform as a result of the recent riots and newfound energy among the Black Lives Matter movement. Foster co-hosts "The Fifth Column" podcast and his work can be found at Freethink media.

Kmele argued that, although there must be changes to how law enforcement operates, it can't be solely about race. The confusing discussion of race and criminal justice reform that produced the campaign by Black Lives Matter that has strayed from its message concerning criminal justice reform. It now focuses many other "strange objectives which people can't really disentangle," he argued, such as the idea to defund the police.
