##### Featuring 

Featuring **Tim Lynch**, Director, Project on Criminal Justice, Cato Institute; **Michael Tanner**, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute; and **Matthew Feeney**, Policy Analyst, Cato Institute; moderated by **Peter Russo**, Director, Congressional Affairs, Cato Institute. 

The death of Freddie Gray while in police custody has started a wide-ranging debate about policing and poverty in American cities. Does Congress need to spend more money on jobs programs and police body cameras? Should the Department of Justice sue the City of Baltimore for a pattern and practice of civil rights violations? Are better policy options available? Please join us for a discussion of these questions.
