Roland Deconstructs Controversy Surrounding Tamir Rice's Mom Calling Out Tamika Mallory, Ben Crump

Samaria Rice, mother of Tamir Rice and Lisa Simpson, mother of Richard Risher are calling for Tamika Mallory, Ben Crump and a number of others to step down.

Their statement today reads, "Tamika Mallory, Shaun King, Benjamin Crum, Lee Merritt, Patrisse Cullors, Melina Abdullah and the Black Lives Matter Global Network need to step down, stand back and stop monopolizing and capitalizing our fight for justice and human rights. We never hired them to be the representatives in the fight for justice for our dear loved ones murdered by the police. The 'activists' have events in our cities and have not given us anything substantial for using our loved ones images and names on their fliers. The attorneys in our fight are also misleading the impacted families. In the case of Tamir Rice is was questionable as to whether Benjamin Crump knew the laws in-depth in the state of Ohio. I fired him 6-8 months into Tamir's case. We don't want or need y'all parading in the streets accumulating donations, platforms, movie deals, etc. of the death of our loved ones while the families and communities are left clueless and broke. Don't say our loved ones names period! That's our truth!

During Monday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered, Roland and his panel of guests deconstructed the controversy surrounding Samaria Rice calling out Tamika Mallory, Attorney Ben Crump and others.
