In addition to talking about voting, Mackie spoke about George Floyd's death at the hands of police. He said he sat his 7 and 11-year-old sons down for a "long conversation" and said "they don't understand the lack of humanity in a person to do that to another person."

"Being a father of sons, you know, you have to open your kids' eyes to the world they live in," he said. "When I was growing up, like most boys, you want to be a fireman or a police officer. You want to be a, you know, a first responder in some way. Then comes the harsh reality of the day you have to tell your kids that, you know, you have to open their eyes to what the world is around them to how police view them as young Black men."

"So, you know, it's a tricky slope," he added. "Because I want my boys to have those dreams; I want my boys to look at police and, you know, officials in the military and police in a higher esteem. But at the same time, you have to be honest with them about what happened."
