Protesters across the country are continuing to fill the streets, looking to turn their outrage over police violence against black people into action. Many point to the city of Camden, New Jersey, as an example of what reforming a police department can look like. But is it a success story? PBS NewsHour Weekend's Hari Sreenivasan talks to Scott Thomson, the city's former police chief, and Keith Eric Benson, a resident and educator who says the reality is different than it seems.
