In the wake of the police killing of George Floyd and the nearly two weeks of protests that have followed, Niecy Nash is speaking out on her concerns as a Black mother after her son was once confronted by police.
The Claws actress shared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that her 28-year-old son Dominic recently had a taser pulled on him by officers when he was pulled over for a small traffic violation.
Admitting that she has been challenged when it comes to dealing with the novel coronavirus pandemic to teaching white and non-Black allies on how to support the Black community, Nash said that her son's encounter with the police has her reevaluating what he should do in those situations.
"I'm trying to figure out what to tell my own son," Nash said.
BET has been covering every angle of George Floyd’s death in police custody, other social justice cases and the subsequent aftermath and protests.
