"Lets listen to his take on being a Positive Role Model in the video below.
When asked about how the police treat young Black Men and why so much Black on Black crime he said "All cops are not bad and the media betrays a stigma of Black men in a negative view. That some cops think Black Men are all bad." but he also stated " That there is White on White crime as well, basically it's your environment, along with poverty can trigger so much violence in our communities."
