This episode is a throwback to our Redstate Pariah days on blogtalk radio (2010). Although we broadcast this show six years ago; unfortunately, we are still grappling with this issue. With everything that's going on in our 24/7 news cycle, we thought that we would add to some levity to our otherwise tense socio-political atmosphere. While some of our commentary and analysis are humorous, their implications can be quite serious. ENJOY! Download Episode
Segment 1: Interview with Kevin McCormick of The Dallas County Green Party Segment 2: Shifting The Narrative from Police Brutality to Police as Victims Segment 3: The Republican National Conventions: Day 1 Follow us on Twitter @podclips Subscribe on iTunes
Let's keep the conversation about Police Brutality going. We condemn blind violence against police officers, but the mainstream media are trying their best to change the narrative. In a nation that was built on slavery, the suffering of black people became normalized so that our pain is dismissed and of little concern. Our wounds are deep and bandaids won't do. Check out our discussion on yet more lethal assaults against our community.
