“If had been anybody else, ‘Well, you’re holding a phone, well the phone was silver and it looked like a gun,’” she said, acting out a hypothetical scenario. “Here was a woman walking out toward the police car — now a lot of us know — we don’t walk out toward the police car, why? Because I’m always the suspect, so I’m not walking toward you at all.”

Underwood also expressed the urgency with how quickly police procedures and actual staff need to be reassessed.

“We are in crisis right now because every day somebody dies, I said it on this show, when it starts to happen to other people then they will feel what we feel,” she said. “Why was this woman any different than Philando Castile, who had a license to carry a gun?”

Sheryl even offered up a solution.

“What needs to happen now is that police need to be trained,” she explained. “Sensitivity training, they need to understand that there’s a consequence to your actions but then as people, we need to demand that the police get all the training, all the equipment, and turn the damn dash cam that we asked for on.”

Twitter reaction was in overwhelming agreement with Underwood. “Thank you @sherylunderwood for not holding back & speaking the truth - as ugly as it is. Thank you for using your platform #TheTalk #Preach,” one user wrote. Sheryl Underwood keeping it as real as it gets. NOW they 'have an idea' how it feels to fear the police,” another tweeted.
