Larry Wilmore Blood Crips

I found this video while searching through the news for Baltimore stories. It’s not being reported, instead, the video is being shared on YouTube. It only has about 7,322 views.

While we can’t confirm if this precinct is indeed in Baltimore, you can’t deny the absolute ridiculousness of this officer being able to completely choke out a woman on the floor of the police department. It makes you wonder how many times this goes on where it’s not caught on tape?

We’re all fighting for change in trying to push equality, but there’s an obstacle in getting to justice: how police officers think and the beliefs that are engrained in their DNA. SMH.

Can somebody say “Kumbaya?” Since the Baltimore Uprising, there’s been several stories surfacing of opposing gang members banding together to bring peace and organization to the streets. It’s beautifully shocking, but shows the power of Black people to make change. The Nightly Show’s Larry Wilmore sat down with gang members from the Bloods and the Crips. They’ve called a truce and Larry was fascinated, as we all are.

“Is it a truce or a treaty?” Larry asks, forever hitting us with hilarious questions that we actually want the answers to.

One of the members of the Crips said, “We didn’t have a truce or a treaty. We just had men respecting men as men and we did it just like that.” The same guy told a story about a rival gang member stepping on his show during the uprising and he told the guy that a couple of days ago, he would have hit him in the mouth.

“Three days from now, things may be back to normal and you can hit him in the mouth again,” Larry Wilmore joked. All the men said, “No, he’s good.” They said the truce is forever in Baltimore.

“Where do you guys think the anger in the community comes from?” Larry asked.

One of the guys said it’s a push back. Baltimore has been up against the wall for decades and now they’re fighting back. The segment was one of the best things we’ve seen. Check out the full segment above.

 UP NEXT: Geraldo Gets Schooled By Baltimore Protestor

Fox News reporter Geraldo Rivera got a rude awakening in Baltimore. Rivera was trying to report on the situation in Baltimore but the protestors were not here for him or Fox News.

During his report, the crowd chanted “Fox News lies” while Rivera attempted to yell back at the crowd. Kwame Rose confronted Rivera with this impassioned speech:

“I want you and Fox News to get out of Baltimore City because you’re not hear reporting about the boarded up homes and the homeless people under MLK. You’re not reporting about the poverty levels up and down North Ave. Two years ago, when the 300 men marched from Milton & North to Hilton & North, you weren’t here. But you’re here for the Black riots that happened. You’re not here for the death of Freddie Gray. You’re here for the story.”

Kudos to that Kwame!

Of course, Geraldo Rivera went on Fox News the next day and said the protestor was being “annoying and and obstructionist” and got in the way of an important story.

“I don’t feel like I’m a hero,” Toya Graham, the mother who went viral after snatching and shaking her kid after catching  him rioting in the streets of Baltimore during the uprising appeared on “The View” and talked about her only son, why she’s not a hero and more. Check it out above.

Do you think she’s a hero?
