In this episode, the discussion continues on tensions between police and communities of color across America.

Why did the civil unrest erupt in Ferguson? The killing of an unarmed black man wasn't the only reason.

The panel will also react to the conversation America is having in the wake of Ferguson; in the media, and among co-workers and friends.

And it will reflect on how to keep the focus on these issues, in a country which appears to have already moved on.
