103 - The Killing Fields

The acquittals of Deputy Sheriff Betty Jo Shelby and Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez in the killing of two unarmed African American men who in both cases were detained as a result of traffic stops by these officers, in separate and independent incidents, highlights the renewed belief that continues to haunt African American's and this nation at its core...RACISM! White America continues to want to sweep the injustices experienced by Black America under the rug and say that the victims are somehow to blame for their own deaths, when in both cases, the victims were complying with the officers. In neither case was there any reason to use deadly force, especially when neither victim was exhibiting any aggression or violence towards the officer or any other person at the time of their deaths. Joining me tonight is Retired New York City Police Detective, and current Director of Public Information and Political Affairs, for the Black Law Enforcement Alliance, and frequent contributor to MSNBC is Detective Marq Claxton,
