Theme song "Soulfully"

Black Ex-RPD cop indicted of obstruction of justice for his part in framing over a dozen black men who were charged with selling or trafficking heroin. The questions still remains....What about the other 7 cops? What about the black people who are still looked up on bogus charges? Indictment is not a victory.....it's a crumb.

P.2 Attorney Dawn Blagrove Talks Law.

Today I am introducing you to Attorney Dawn Blagrove.

A graduate of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) and of North Carolina Central School of Law, Blagrove

For these reasons, it is safe to deem Dawn a subject matter expert as it relates: RPD Officer, along with an RPD CI planted fake drugs on 13 Black Men and used that fake evidence as evidence to hold 13 Black Men in jail for up to three months.

Jackal: Robin I am only about one thing and that’s forgiving and forgiveness.

Me: You would be because you need forgiveness.

Jackal: I’m only about forgiving and being forgiven. I can’t undo what I have done. I can’t make history all over. I done wrong. I’m sorry, and that’s all I can do.

• If you forgive me you forgive me.

• If Stone forgive me she forgive me.

• If Stormy forgive me she forgive me

• If your mama forgive me she forgive me.

I can’t undo the past. I have to just let it go.

Me: I forgive you.

Jackal: Because if I live in the past, I will be a dead man tomorrow.

Me: I forgive you.

Jackal: I’ll be a dead man tomorrow….You gone be a dead man tomorrow.

Me: Do you hear me? I needed to say that to you because the last forgiveness was based off missing information.

Jackal: Like I say, we gon just have to let it go and ask the Lord to forgive us. I spent a lifetime trying not to repeat my sins. I just can’t…I can’t keep living in the past.

Me: I agree.

Jackal: It can only destroy me, Bunk, and everybody. Crystal and all of them, they decided to move on and just let it go. Cause they know you can’t change the past. We all made mistakes. We all have done terrible terrible things. Me, you…all of us done terrible things in our lives.

Me: I aint did no terrible things.

Jackal: Thank God you haven’t, but it’s a lot of us. I’m not the only one…I have done terrible things and I am thankful that the Lord forgave me for those things, and I was able to forgive myself and the people I done to. I haven’t been a saint. I’m…I’m sorry.

Mama: Robin you look good.

Jackal: and I’m hoping you can get past all this.

Me: Me too.

Mama: I look terrible. I mean thank you, I feel like I look bad.
