Join us for a very special episode on domestic violence, the black lives movement, and politics in our black communities. Thislast week has been out right horrible and tragic. We've seen two tragic deaths of two humans being killed by police officers. Both were black men who had run-ins with police prior. Both men were fathers, and both men were going about their business as usual when their lives ended. Two situations but very different in every way. The sad part is that these situations have happened back to back before and there was no real change. We now have the same thing, but will there be any real change with the gun laws, or any real change in how police depts approach training. All we can do is hope. As these tragic situations have happened a group calling themselves "Black Lives Matter" have come-up as they say. Many say this group is protesting peacefully, but then many say they are protesting violently. With some attributing to them screaming obscenities and shouting"kill those pigs (refering to police officers). The most alarming bit to this group are the messages between thisguy and girl who say are the facesof "black lives matter." Those messages display a plan called the "summer of chaos." That plan is a plan to disrupt communities as well asthe democratic and republican conventions that will be happening this month. Those plans are plans to cause chaos any and every where necessary. Tragic I know. One would think this group would want to help their fellow black folks instead creating trouble, more arrest, and possibly more killings. We will see. Tune in as we serious matters.
