Radio host, author and political commentator D.L. Hughley joined Chris Cuomo on CNN’s New Day to discuss the recent police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castille. Hughley is widely known for his stance on police violence and its effects on the African-American community.
“Every black or brown parent I know has a conversation with their children about how to act around the police. My biggest fear…I don’t even go to sleep until my grown children come home,” he said. “I keep my clothes on in the middle of the day or night just in case my children need me.”
