Last week our nation was rattled when two videos went viral showing two African American men die after being shot by police officers. Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Philando Castile near St Paul, Minnesota. Later that week 5 Dallas area Police officers named Michael Smith, Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Patrick Zamarripa, & Brent Thompson were gunned down by a man alleged to be targeting white police. Emotions flared all throughout the nation as Black Lives Matter activists and protestors, anti-BLM protestors, and police officer spokespeople sent messages back and forth at one another in dispute about whose “lives mattered” and it played out all across the mass and social media. There is a lot of tension around these issues right now and some fear that things might get worst before they improve.

Listen in as Scott & John go through each case separately to share how they percieved each incident and how it made them feel. John also shares how European Americans within his social circles perceived the incidents and Scott does the same from the African American Perspective before they both close out with suggestions for solutions.

This is the most important show to date.
