“Do you support the call to defund police?” Jericka Duncan asked.
“No,” Rice replied. “That’s not terminology that I would use, but what I would say is this: We have a long history of inequality, of oppression that endures in this country and we need the police to the part of the solution — in some communities they are and some others, they’re not.
