DL is sharp. I find myself respecting him more everyday!!!

[@tiarashawn-tai]

Your comment is getting liked 2 years later because the conversation & comment are both STILL relevant.

[@lisalohr9960]

Totally with you. This guy always has a strong argument.

[@Kali4Action]

especially on point with this seemingly indifferent audience...

[@juanitatoliver5807]

any "good cops" that dont call out "bad cops" are no better

[@nicolewilliams3434]

Juanita Toliver Exactly.... Any justification on their behalf is cowardice . Period....

[@illwil1lyn]

@ivory phillipswhat about good white people calling out bad white people oh nevermind.

[@ballin4th]

@ivory phillips stfu damn y'all are so annoying.

[@josephdaley1720]

@ivory phillips, name one case.

[@chavezgilmore5614]

@ivory phillips they do call the police. But now a days calling police on blacks usually ends with somebody black dead. Or if something happens in Amerikkka by a foreigner and they fly back to there country, alot of brown/black people gets blown up.

[@deborahjohnson6834]

What this world needs is 1 million more DL Hughleys!!

[@Traces13]

There are millions of African-American men who are conscious copies of DL and they'll all never be in the media representing each other. DL is a Comedian, a conscious comedian, and a conscious communicator of Human Rights. But, I understand that DL brings bright lights to reflect millions of black men as humans with his consciousness. Thank you DL Hughley!

[@problackqueer6546]

Yup fuxk trump

[@chilledandcool3918]

He is so damn intelligent! I love his reasonable arguments 💞

[@jasons3759]

he brings up a good point when they should weed out the bad cops right there in the police department... cops should be able to tell which one of their co-workers shouldn't really be out there

for DL to go and sit with these guys i salute you..one guy was picking his nails the whole time, the other one was yawning and stretching, totally disinterested but he came with the facts and represented himself so well

[@vfry7896]

I'm really proud of you DL.... Don't think these guys are trying to get a different point of view. Hmm.....

[@emeraldkaysgarden]

the caller with the "black ppl need to behave" narrative was sadly funny, for the fact that he held on to his ignorance is sad.

[@tiptip5491]

@@quentinwillis7695 those callers were out of touch and Mr. Hughley was trying to be fair towards the caller's ignorance. Because Mr. Hughley could have really went in on the retired cop.

[@phyllisstevens4839]

D.L. is on point all the time. He knows how to stay calm even when people says things that are infuriating. This causes him to be able to handle himself in an appropricate way. Wonderful.

[@KingzofIsrael]

I’m a truck driver...if I accidentally kill a family on the highway and I’m at fault I’m going to jail. The main reason is because the motoring public considers us professionals. Police should be held to the standard of not higher.

[@warriorgoddessyaaasantewaa4773]

lol...DL Hughley, I applaud your tenacity in trying to educate people. But this clearly shows there will always be those who, no matter what the facts are, are going to hold on to the beliefs or narrative that best suit(s) them. If they benefit from the power structure as-is, we can expect that they may never admit the truth. Salute to you for trying, though.

That has happened. A cops soon got tased in his heart til he stopped breathing, and then dropped on his head cause brain damage. He then spoke out on alot and gave all the key words cops use pad their report including "I smell weed. I thought I seen weed. They were acting in _______ manner(fill in the blank). I thought I recognized them or dealt with them before. Seem them acting ________ when speaking to someone who known for ________. He let the cat out the bag cause he child ended up the victim saying they are trained to use filters for reports and if black stack charges. Just look up tased in heart.

[@jbenning050]

DL speaking the truth.

[@bryanmackey3295]

It's called the Teacher Next Door Program that was cut due to budget shortfalls. What a great program to put teachers, cops and fireman in communities.

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

People want to conveniently omit the fact that it's socioeconomic issue more than a racial issue. Bottom line is, people attack what is around them. Over 80% of all murders are committed by people who knew the victim. Also, crime is highest in the areas with the most poverty. So if you rid areas of resources n gerrymander to where they can't use their vote to change things, crime is going to exist. It's convenient for people to play the race card, either way, because it's an ignorant yet accepted narrative that people love to spew. They're too lazy to dig deeper and look at common sense. Crime occurs most when and where poverty exists. Period.

[@llg4958]

Even as a retired officer, he was biased and defended the poor actions of the officer who killed Gurley.

[@victorlockhart4864]

[@FreshtexBlackman]

Thing is though, when a Cops past is investigated its to see if he had any enemies or ties to crime, when a person killed by cops past is brought up its to deface their character!

way more coward rogue cops than they want to admit.

[@lemostjoyousrenegade]

TRULY! There's an ex Baltimore cop who's first name is Michael. There's a video of this very decent man exposing the corruption of police departments. I also know an ex San Francisco police officer who NEVER had to shoot/kill anyone during his career. Back then (in the 1980's in San Francisco) they would chase (on foot) unarmed suspects who ran from them (not shoot them in the back 8 times)! They used their night sticks and fired warning shots...only when necessary. These weak ass, racist bully cops are lying when they use that "feared for my life" bullshite!

[@beejams1]

Hats of to you to stay so calm during these calls .

[@cali-zclassicTVreviews5722]

wow the caller hit it on the head POOR PEOPLE PERIOD, why can't people understand that. No resources no jobs fighting, killing out of anger, frustration and to survive. Robbing stealing killing it goes hand and hand no matter the race.

[@dirkbogarde44]

Not necessarily......England has gone through mass depressions, notably in the 20's and 80's and the crime rate didn't rocket through the roof and there weren't ton's of killings because of the poverty. America was and is a violent country. It's never changed.

[@PotentialThall]

it's never changed because america actively does nothing, it's sounds funny but they literally plan on doing nothing about poverty, england even from those years were working at ending mass poverty, Europe destroy's america in things like education and class wage earnings, nobody or system is perfect but atleast they give it a shot. looks like it turned out pretty good for them, not mentioning their immigrant situation though

[@spidersense1472]

caligirl LA You can't excuse murder because people are poor. I can understand but not agree with someone shoplifting if they're hungry and broke but the same logic doesn't follow to murder. This blanket excuse for the high crime rate is a major problem in the inner cities and doesn't help the good people there.

[@purpledude603]

That is the biggest f-ing lie. There are tons of poor people who do not break the law. Can you tell me how many of those who are not working even want to work or even lift a finger to make their lives better. That is a sorry ass excuse which is nothing but saying it is ok to commit crimes. Show me a black person who just chills and hangs out with their friends and dies not want to put any effort to better themselves and I will show you a white person doing the same thing that are no better off. any one of these poor people can get money for education, but it is clear that way too many of those complaining reject education at every turn. How can you possibly blame someone else for the choices that put you exactly where you are.???. A little honesty would sure go a long way.

[@87willus]

caligirl LA I agree it's not race it's poverty but I get frustrated with what Americans call poverty. the poorest people have access to free food and shelter free electricity basically everything u need to survive yet people still complain like they got it bad. there are third world countries that would go to some of the poorest spots of america and feel like they made it, I remember Dave chappelle made a joke about it.

[@Ktgman66]

[@demonte87]

the guy that was talking about the hard things that happen to officers in NYC was saying things that didnt equate . First he his comparing being put on desk duty for a year to someone losing they life. or being transferred to a harder district to having your freedom taken for years for something that you didnt do. This caller just wanted to say stuff that cant be argued with if you dont have the information to check just to win an argument.

[@loyceholland6201]

He makes it so easy to understand. Mad respect!!!

[@southeastd.c5636]

Ex-cop on the phone completely shows what side he stands on........if you are a cop and witnessing wrong by a fellow officer and you dnt report it,you're just as guilty as they are because you're saying its nothing wrong with it.......soon as he said his ex profession i would have not said a word because the convo on his end would be completely bias

[@louistech112]

Look at the raciest get mad 😂😂😂 they hate the truth

Its crazy how some minds work. How is it not logic in your mind and heart that if someone gets murdered intentionally or unintentionally that there has to be accountability for the action? I just don't understand how it is even a debate.

Every police department, in America, does have a certain level of corruption. There are men and women police officers, that are doing a great job. There are some officers, that are corrupt.

[@MrsChocolate78]

You held yourself Well Mr DL Hughly however you should have more black men there with you with this topic. You're very level headed and intelligent. You're right on so many levels and policeman need to be held accountable for their actions whether good or bad and the public people should know about it

[@MzJam3z]

I like DL, he talks that talk!!!!

[@bastiat6865]

That "retired cop" exemplifies the problem. Instead of fucking listening, he kept coming up with justifications for why cops should *not* be held accountable for accidentally killing people. If someone takes this job on, theyr should have the capability of restraint and good judgment in the use of deadly force. PERIOD!

[@maskedavenger9981]

I just don't see the point in arguing with white supremacists anymore. You can't refute, love, beat, or disprove hate and racial bias out of ANYONE.

[@spidersense1472]

Masked Avenger if you think these guys are white supremacists you're clearly delusional.

[@maskedavenger9981]

spidersense1472 Did I say that they were ? No. I did not. But the guy on the phone, you know the one who kept saying " blacks need to behave" is most likely a white supremacist.

[@maskedavenger9981]

spidersense1472 While Im at it let me ask,how do YOU feel about white supremacy ?

[@vfry7896]

Masked Avenger You'll probably never get a response to that question...then again.....

[@charlyv388]

I'm at that point in my life also. They won't change, PERIOD. No matter how many facts you present to them.

[@tiptip5491]

I really appreciate how Mr. Hughley tried to be fair towards these ignorant callers. I just wish those same callers acted just as fairly towards everyone else.

People need to see this!!!

[@AnnaK-ze3xy]

Yes D.L!!!! Please continue to educate us all as humans!!!!

[@raptahbin]

They have separate regulations for the Police. Read the codes of your state and you will find that police have immunity from most things that would be considered criminally punishable under certain circumstances when acting in their official duties. That is why it's so difficult to prosecute when you see the police violating any law, code, or ordinance.

Thanks dl well spoken. salute saneta tv

[@kimfoster3581]

The conversation shows me that the issue will always boil down to color, and the prospective of the that persons. color. The last caller beleived that because the man who shot the gentleman in the stair well was a cop, he made a mistake there for he was not guilty of a crime, yet a life was lost. ok so because it was not intentionally. done and his uniform. was BLUE, those to things made the life less valuable and it was ok. DAM! So if that was his son, brother, nephew, family whoever I wonder if his perspective. would be different? So if we make a mistake and someone dies, we are not responsible if we are a cop, or if it was not intentional?? JUST to think we have people on the police. force tat beleive this too be true is a dam shame and super deep. I too have to sons, and I live in. very racist city, I always pray for their protection, and I prepare my mind for what CAN be. I make them call me when they get home, they laugh, but too me its not funny. If they forget I call them. Than I worry about their counterparts out here in these streets. All I can do is trust God , and that I do. Than the man who said black people need to behave, was ignorant as hell, nawh fool,you need to behave saying. some stupid racist crap like this. Miss behaveing aint no dam color thang chump, its a people thang. Give one of yall a few beers and a shot, yall become buck wild. Its simply not publicized, the media lovessssd making us look bad, but whites do the same stuff we do. Its a racist bias world and trurh be told yall wanna keep it that away. We need to boycott. everything yall own and do a Rosa parks on yall, get our well earned resepct. Yall hate for our black skin, how freaken stupid. God made Us just the same as he made yall.

[@yiqwaba3833]

[@maurencegibson]

HELL YEAH. GET EM DL.👍✊✊✊✊✊✊

[@karlesism]

My son was killed by a stray bullet, from the gun of a black man, resulting from target practice in a residential neighborhood. He was charged with 2nd degree murder and sentenced to 27 years, even though he had turned himself in and cooperated with the Police. His sentence was higher because of prior offenses but, he was sentenced nonetheless. In the case of loss of life, even accidental, deserves accountability. No exceptions! Closure for the victim’s loved-ones cannot be attained when the criminal goes free. But, racist Whites; to include the caller (ex NYC cop) who insisted that the brother shot in the stairwell was undeserving of justice, do not value Black Lives, hence the necessity for the existence of #Black Lives Matter.

[@pitpride1220]

The statements made says it all it more about mental perceptions then the physical appearance or behavior.

[@mjlucey9442]

There is a tremendous expense that goes into recruitment and training cops these days. There can be a significant expense involved in the discipline of bad cops, due to union rules too. And there is the matter of having to rely on a " bad" cop in a tight situation too, that results in a reluctance to say something about observed misconduct. And a system that fails to take effective action, and leaves bad cops on the job keeps other cops silent too. And there is the matter of the perception of legitimacy that needs to be maintained too.

[@kiasaulsberry1377]

Where is the area he say the officers speak first?

[@zayidblackmoor]

Good Interview D.L. U were correct in saying that ACCOUNTABILITY should B Universal 4 Citizen, Cop, & Criminal alike. It's Educational 2 see the Mindset of Law Enforcement Folk- Active Duty & Retired. Even 'Right Minded' individuals make an ALLOWANCE 4 Special Circumstance, when dealing w/ Black People. In NYC, We have the 'Officer Next Door Program' 2 keep NYPD in NYC. Like U stated, They get 50% off the Mortgage. It used 2 B easy 2 apply 4, but now, there R Specific Homes in Specific Neighborhoods that may make Officers find what they like 4 Full Price. Keep it Coming! Stay Blessed! #UpliftTheRaceAGAIN

[@user-ok7pg6ks4h]

I totally understand the fight and I do believe we should keep fighting BUT....as we just heard it is tons of people that see things their way and they refuse to see it any other way.

You cannot straddle the fence and the issue is you have individuals like this retired cop who feel a cop shouldnt be held accountable for a mistake but everyone else who would have done that should and would be. You are either hot or cold and there is no in between.

[@keithbell9348]

+Jason good point. As a black man I ain't holding no white person accountable for me. I know and experience the old saying" YOU reap what you sow, not THEY reap what you sow". So i try to be responsible in the choices I make. Does this mean I will never fall victim to the prejudicial biasis of others, be they white, black, latino, indian, or asian? Of course not. I will. You will. We will all experience stupid ass prejudice or racism from somebody else at some point in time. Even when we may not notice it. Consider this: Once in a casual conversation a white police officer (when off duty), admitted one of his biggest fears was to have a racist unstable partner working with him. Because that fool could put not only other's lives in danger, but his as well. Now had I suggested to him to not hold that person accountable for what that racist asshole could do that could endanger his life or career, I can definately tell you he would told me and you to shut up because we haven't experienced what he has.

[@greglewis6991]
