Elon James White is the CEO of “This Week in Blackness,” and went down to Ferguson to report on the protests, and it seems, to join in too. While recounting his experience of being tear gassed by the police to Melissa Harris Perry on MSNBC, he broke down crying.
Watch below:
It was a very emotional moment.
Having never been tear gassed, I can’t really comment much, but I did find a comment from a Marine about the segment:
@elonjames Poor baby…you got all misty eyed. Quite an over reaction to something that me & other military go through everyday in training.
