John Conyers actually said...

"The vast majority of federal law enforcement agents perform as we would hope, and in fact often engage in acts above and beyond the call of duty."

"I call on this Subcommittee to address these issues by holding hearings and considering legislation concerning topics such as (1) the use of lethal force by state and local police departments."

"We have an obligation to the American people to investigate these issues, to find answers, and adopt solutions."

"We cannot ignore the fact that we have a crisis involving use of force by police in this country."
