	Description:		Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, joins CBS News Chief Justice and Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Pegues to discuss the current state of policing in America. As the former head of the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, Gupta oversaw the federal investigation into the Ferguson Police Department after a white officer fatally shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. Gupta calls Brown's death and the resulting protests across the country a watershed moment for this country. She criticizes the current administration for backing down from the strides made on police reform under her Civil Rights Division. Plus, Gupta responds to the data and comments collected in CTM's year-long investigation into police departments across the country and the changes they have made regarding race and policing.
