    Daniel Prude and Calling the Police on Black People

    Daniel Prude and Calling the Police on Black People

    The Mocha Mamas are discussing their raw emotions upon hearing about the horrific killing of Daniel Prude which then leads to discussing a commonly asked question "should I call the police on Black people". Inez & Kristie share their personal rule of thumb on this issue. One of them gets a little bit fired up but they manage to bring it back around to one key takeaway: take a step back and check your bias because many times people call the police in situations where calling the police is not warranted and sometimes it can be deadly. 
    Do you think our stance is unfair? We know! This is why we believe in fighting for justice and accountability in the "justice" system.
