Noel leader, cofounder of 100 blacks in Law Enforcement who care, and de lacy davis, founder of black cops against police brutality. Welcome back to both of you. Thank you. Thank you. As youve watched whats been going on over the last few months and weeks, just your thoughts on, you know, where the community is and where policing is . Well, my thoughts are that its unfortunate, you know, that we have these consistent and persistent unjustified shootings. Because now something that the African American community and the African American Police Officers have known for years is theyre being videotaped. And so the whole world is getting the opportunity to see some of these incidents that members of the African American community have been complaining about for so long. Its very difficult when we dont get justice when theres not an indictment, a conviction, and then sentencing the Police Officer, which makes things much more difficult. So, were pained as well as professionals, as well as ou
Universities. But those same students are not eligible for state and federal aid education aid. And now, well, a new study shows undocumented students in new jersey who are eligible to enroll in state colleges are not applying. So, whats the response to that . Well, how about this a push in the state legislature to offer those students some Financial Assistance. Here to talk more about this, Gordon Macinnes from the new jersey policy perspective, and li adorno from amerin Friends Service committee. Welcome to you both.
