Welcome to Black State Blue Nation ™ where we have candid discussions about policing, community, and the need for change. I am your host attorney Mel LaGrone, former Detroit police officer turned criminal defense attorney. Each week on Black State Blue Nation, we will either have a guest speaker from various police departments or from the community or you will hear me in a solo episode having a candid discussion on what is going on in the world today as it relates to policing and racial tension.
