The nation is once again forced to grapple with how police interact with communities of color. The latest viral video of Lisa Mahone and Jamal Jones feeling terrorized by Hammond Indiana police demonstrates that mistrust of law enforcement continues to grow. From 18 year North Carolina teen DeShawn Currie, who was pepper sprayed in his own home by Fuquay-Varina police to Levar Jones being shot several times by a South Carolina State Trooper during a traffic stop to 16 year unarmed Brooklyn, New York teen Kahreen Tribble being punched repeatedly by police after a brief chase to the shooting death of unarmed teen Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson to the bevy of incidences around the country, excessive use of force by police has become a troubling norm.

‘COMMUNITY VOICES’ host, Ron Holland, delves into the inequities inherent in law enforcement and why the Black Community feels undersiege by police. Ron also addresses actress Raven-Symone’s controversial remarks about not being African-American.
