Apologies in advance: more profanity than usual this week! Join us as we talk about President Trump’s comments regarding the Ninth Circuit and his non-understanding of the law and HBCUs, a compare-and-contrast on how police in Balch Springs Texas conducted themselves in the Jordan Edwards execution compared to a detective with the Raleigh Police terrorizing a BBQ restaurant, and in the #Law140 segment we do an overview of federal sentencing and how it will play out in the Michael Slager plea for executing Walter Scott.
