A Story of the Week, Every Day (Episode 25)

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn

We’ve had so much criminal justice news in just a week that we’re skipping the politics entirely 😱 Tune in for the Georgia cop admitting they only kill black people, the 15-year-old boy Detroit police killed via taser, the Oregon deputy pulling his gun during a routine traffic stop, and the nurse arrested for protecting an unconscious police officer from the Salt Lake City PD. Then in our #Law140 segment we talk about the scope of the First Amendment and how it relates to incitement.

*THANK YOU* to this week’s Samson Sponsor Melanie Greenan, and to our #Law140 Lover Jennifer Cowart for the topic suggestion!
