Behind the Blue Curtain
Behind the Blue Curtain
Saturday, January 11, 2020 on Behind the Blue Curtain 11am Eastern 10 am Central. In the struggle between good and evil, right and wrong and Police and Criminal there has always been unwritten rules. A street code or “Rules of the Game” until now. Respect for the children, elderly people, schools and churches in the neighborhood was a standing order, not an option. It was the job of the Police Officer to catch the drug Dealer and the job of the Drug Dealer to not get caught. The Officers didn’t want to cause any more disruption in the neighborhood than...

THAT TALK

info_outlineSaturday November 2, 2019 on Behind the Blue Curtain we’re going to discuss the conversation that African American and other families of color have with their kids regarding interacting with the police. This conversation usually takes place around 8-10 years old. It’s not a “Police are your friend” or “You can trust the police” conversation. It’s not a demonization of police but it is centered around your child’s safety. You must teach them that they may be stopped for no reason, pulled over for no reason, spoken to harshly, and treated like a criminal for no reason. Now that sounds hard to some of you, but its factual. Sure, not every Police Officer is bad, but the statistics don’t lie. African Americans are disproportionately stopped, searched, arrested and receive harsher sentences than white Americans. Enforcement of the immigrational policy is aimed at “those brown people” in the southern United States. Even white parents with black children have had this conversation with their children. If they haven’t, they will. The problem is NOT white people. The problem is racial and cultural ignorance in enforcement of laws, and a “for profit” prison and legal system. Joining us will be The Facebook Live Crew, Tyrone K Dunmore, Retired Chicago Homicide Detective Joseph J Moseley, Claudia Lynch, Esq, Walter Gus Glover and Former 12-year Fort Worth Police Officer LaRhonda Young. Tomorrow morning 11am EST and 10 am CST. The call-in number is 646-716-4621. Press 1 on your phone if you’d like to join the conversation. Please be mindful of your background noise and mute your phone when you’re just listening.
