welcome back to the messy truth, i m van jones, former michigan governor granholm. jamal cole runs a not for profit. he s got a question. how you doing. i m good, how are you? better than some, worse than others. can t complain. national news story about chicago is always gun chinese and oftentimes explained as gangs and guns, rarely a national discussion about the root causes of violence, poverty, joblessness, under resourced schools and divested
you just heard at the news could be conference today, loved ones expressing their anger and frustration and also sympathy and also not just for the family members. listen to jamal cole, the nephew of bettie jones, the woman who was shot accidently by an sister. my wife s aunt, bettie jones, was shot on the morning after christmas and while attempting to feel hate for all chicago police officers right now, i know this is a time where a difficult time we ve got to get past in our city. i think we ve got to show the police officers and the family a lot of compassion. this is not the time for hatred in our city or the time for violence. jahmal cole is joining me from chicago. first of all, my condolences for your loss and thank you for talking to us. thank you guys for having me. appreciate it.
