(36,139 posts)42. She did. She's so good with kids and families.
When she spoke to the mom, though, the woman was so shook up from it all that she kept repeating herself, calling the shooter 'nasty.' On second thought, that's good TV, too, really.

It's a miracle her 9 year old wasn't shot. He was standing right next to her. nt

Yup. They had called the police 6-8 times on the KKKaren, but nothing was done.

I am sure she has a black friend. Now wether or not that person knows is another matter.

I saw that excellent segment. One of Reid's strengths is tackling race and law enforcement issues.
