Ben Crump promoted a man who filmed and shared a video that made him seem like a victim of police brutality. However, this clip was taken out of context. The bodycam footage clearly shows that the individual was not cooperative. Jon Stewart went viral with his song "Go F Yourself," which he performed while hosting "The Daily Show." Jason Whitlock was joined by Delano Squires, Kevin Donahue, and Shemeka Michelle to discuss whether Stewart was mocking the black church.

Boom shakalaka boom! You've just locked into the most explosive, unfiltered, reality-radio rollercoaster in the game – The Clay Edwards Show! Episode 1,021 blasts off on this glorious Hump Day, July 16, 2025, with your host Clay Edwards unleashing two hours of pure adrenaline-fueled truth bombs, cultural takedowns, and local lore that'll have you laughing, raging, and rethinking everything. If you're craving a show that shoots from the hip, dives down rabbit holes, and calls out the absurdities of modern life without a shred of apology, this is your jam. We're talking over-the-top rants, fresh segments, and stories so wild they'll make your head spin. Strap in, free-range humans – this ain't your grandma's talk radio; it's a cultural crusade for the soul of America!   Kicking things off with Clay's signature flair, we dive straight into the evening vibes. Ever wondered why you're wasting nights on trash TV when you could be tuning into raw, interactive gold? Clay spills the beans on his nightly 8 PM live stream team-up with co-hosts Shawn and Lindsey – think uncensored debates, viewer-driven chaos, and yes, the occasional F-bomb (because real talk happens, folks). It's been pulling killer numbers, steering the ship with your comments, and hitting topics that daytime can't touch. No scripts, no filters – just pure engagement. If you've missed it, catch the replays on socials like @savejxn across platforms. Pro tip: It's fun, it's fiery, and it's way better than scripted drama.   But hold up – Clay's shaking things up this week with structured segments to wrangle the chaos. Enter the Local Roundup, your daily dose of Mississippi madness, complete with the coveted FAFO Championship of the Day (that's "F'ed Around and Found Out" for the uninitiated). We're starting hot with Jackson's top cop, Chief Joseph Wade, dropping a bombshell proposal: a citywide ski mask ordinance! Picture this: young dudes cruising on bikes, shirtless in South Jackson heat, faces hidden behind "shystie masks." Clay breaks it down – it's terrifying for business owners, a nightmare for surveillance, and a direct counter to JPD's facial recognition tech. Wade's seen it firsthand: masked figures strolling into stores like it's no big deal. But Clay's all in – "I'm about this!" He circles back to the cultural roots: pre-COVID, masks meant robbery; post-COVID, criminals exploited the fear, turning face coverings into getaway gear. And don't get him started on the backlash – cries of "racism" or constitutional violations? Clay calls BS: "Screw your freedom of expression – you look like an idiot, and in a civilized society, masks scream trouble." He unpacks the hypocrisy: from early COVID myths (Black folks can't get it? Enter Idris Elba) to liberal overreactions, it's all Democrat "death culture" biting back. Honest take: When Clay sees a young Black guy in a mask indoors (and yeah, he notes it's rarely anyone else), his hand's on his gun – "You're not scared of COVID; you're up to no good." Outdoors in 90+ degree Mississippi heat? Same vibe. This segment's a masterclass in no-holds-barred observation, blending humor, frustration, and a plea for common sense.   Segueing seamlessly, Clay ties in the hoodie epidemic – kids bundled up in summer swelter like it's a security blanket. "What is wrong with y'all?" he roars, sharing a social experiment from his Facebook post during last night's stream. Over 110 comments poured in: excuses from poor diets making kids "always cold" (nonsense, per Clay) to therapists claiming it feels "safe" amid absent parents (worst answer ever). Others nail it – concealed carry, weight loss attempts, or just hiding something shady. Clay's verdict: In 97-degree heat, a hoodie screams probable cause for a stop-and-frisk. "Sir, what are you trying to hide? Gun with a Glock switch? Pistol AR?" He contrasts it with cowboy boots and jeans – no threat there, no hand on the gun. Stereotypes? Earned, not given, shouts out to creator Antione Daniels for keeping it real. This rant spirals into personal quirks: Clay's a hot-natured beast, sleeping at 61 degrees with industrial fans blasting (DeWALT-level air movement, son!). It's hilarious, relatable, and a cultural gut-check on trends gone awry.   Technical hiccups hit mid-show – signal issues force a switch to backup, but Clay keeps the energy high, appreciating texts from listeners. No downtime here; he resets and rolls on. Shoutout to the Rankin County Sheriff's Office for a heroic escort: rushing a young couple from Leake County to the hospital after her water broke near Madden. "Another good deed by our law enforcement community!" Clay stands firm on supporting good cops while calling out the bad – he's hammered the Goon Squad saga in 27+ episodes, interviewing journalist Jerry Mitchell who took it national. But balance? Nah: "I don't owe Jackson equality. I talk what I want – no pandering." It's a raw defense of his independence: exposing dope in Rankin to keep it safe, not to score points.   In the FAFO spotlight, a massive drug bust crowns our champion: 42-year-old William Daniel Rogers from Brandon, nabbed in a multi-agency sting. Traffic stop uncovers 122 fentanyl pills; home raid reveals a narco treasure trove – 3.6 pounds of marijuana, 47 pounds of mushrooms, 152 M30 fentanyl pills, Oxy, Xanax, coke, heroin, meth, THC oils, vapes, gummies, jello shots, plus 19 firearms and 4 unregistered homemade suppressors. "You don't ride this dirty in Rankin and not win FAFO!" Clay quips, noting federal charges looming on those suppressors (echoing a recent guest chat). Bond at $100K, more charges pending – trace that fentanyl to deaths? Game over. It's a win for curbing overdose epidemics, with Clay warning: Fentanyl's this admin's hill to die on; Rankin ain't playing.   Hour two ramps up with Around the State – wild tales from Mississippi's underbelly. First, a chaotic series in Adams County: Video surfaces of four white guys assaulting Black bicyclist Reginald Butler on a Deerfield Road bridge. It starts with a cigarette ask turning ugly (Clay questions motive – "Hard to believe it's that simple"). Butler flees, grabs a gun, returns; second clash ends with him shooting Cameron Talton (involved in the first fight), who gets airlifted. Butler bonds out; two others (including 21-year-old Houston Lee Priddy and a 16-year-old) face aggravated assault and conspiracy. Sheriff's probing hate crime angles with MBI/FBI. Clay unpacks: Self-defense? Nah – leaving and returning kills that claim. Race-baiting incoming (Ben Crump vibes), but questions abound: Why the bridge? Bathing suits? Motive? "Brace for impact – knowledge up!"   Youth violence hits next: Columbia cops seize a Glock switch (turns semi-auto to full-auto) from an underage teen in a stolen-gun traffic stop. Chief Fortenberry laments: "We're losing our youth – kids have more firepower than us!" Illegal under new state law, it's a call to action against escalating threats.   Wrapping with national intrigue: Epstein files drama. Clay dissects why Trump, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Pam Bondi get heat – promises of declassification clash with hesitance over "phony stuff" from crooked intel (Russia hoax crew). Trump's point: Lists could ruin innocents. But Clay pushes: Release and investigate! Shoutouts to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Benny Johnson for demanding transparency despite risks. "Hold leaders accountable – that's America!"   Episode 1,021 is Clay at his peak: Over 1,000 shows of chaos refined into segments, rants that assault sensibilities, and stories that demand action. From mask bans to massive busts, hoodies to hate crimes, it's a hump-day hurricane of honesty. Missed the live energy? Replay now – and join the 8 PM stream for more uncensored fire. Clay Edwards: Fighting cancel culture, one truth bomb at a time. Boom goes the dynamite!

Dive into the wild, wonky whirlwind of Adams County's weekend warfare – a series of savage altercations on Deerfield Road that exploded from a bike ride gone wrong to a gunshot showdown! It all kicks off Friday night, July 11, 2025, in the Kingston area near Natchez, where 33-year-old Black resident Reginald Butler is pedaling his bicycle and crosses paths with a rowdy crew of young party-goers (mostly white dudes in bathing suits – sandbar shenanigans?). What starts as a simple cig request (or so they say) spirals into pure mayhem: Butler's knocked off his bike, pummeled by four assailants, suffering a fractured nose and possible concussion. He bolts on his bike, heads home, grabs a handgun for "protection," and pedals back – big mistake or bold move?   Enter round two: Butler runs into the group at another bridge spot. They allegedly drag him into the woods, resuming the beatdown. Amid the frenzy, Butler pulls his piece and blasts Hayden Pounds in the chest – one round also ripping through a nearby vehicle! Pounds gets airlifted to a hospital but bounces back and is released. The whole mess is caught on multiple phone cams, igniting community fury across racial lines – hundreds raging on social media, calling it a "heinous" attack no one should endure.   Arrests drop like dominoes: Butler's hauled in for aggravated assault, bonds out on $50K. Then Cameron Taunton (21, Vidalia, LA – already on probation for assaulting a disabled person) gets nabbed, charges upgraded from simple assault to aggravated assault and conspiracy ($350K bond). Houston Pretty (18, Vidalia) faces the same: aggravated assault and conspiracy ($350K). A 16-year-old juvenile joins the lineup with identical charges – name withheld. Sheriff Travis Patten warns more collars coming, with MBI and FBI probing for hate crime vibes (racial slurs? Lynching echoes?).   Clay unpacks the insanity: "Hard to buy a cig ask sparks this – motive missing? Butler escapes, arms up, returns – kills self-defense claim. If roles reversed under Biden DOJ, hate crime charges fly!" Questions swirl: Why the bridge? Who started round two? Innocent cig stop or deeper beef? Brace for national spotlight – Ben Crump incoming? This ain't just a fight; it's Mississippi's powder keg of race, rights, and reckless returns. Boom – truth bombs dropping!

Join host Clay Edwards and co-hosts Shaun Yurtkuran and Lindsey Beckham for another unfiltered edition of Uncensored Live, streaming live every Sunday through Thursday. This episode kicks off with a lively introduction to the hosts' daily shows: Catch Shaun and Lindsey on Crossing the Aisle weekdays from noon to 1 PM on WYAB 103.9 FM in Central Mississippi, or stream it worldwide on their YouTube and Facebook channels (with plans to expand to X soon). Clay hosts The Clay Edwards Show every Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 9 AM on the same station, available on social media platforms. As the second full week of this new format rolls on, the trio dives into a mix of throwback stories, local news breakdowns, and fiery discussions on crime, politics, and cultural shifts.   Nostalgic Throwbacks and Early Internet Shenanigans: The conversation starts light-hearted with shoutouts to viewers like Junk and RaccoonMan60 on YouTube, sparking a fun chat about quirky usernames tied to old Gmail and AOL accounts. The hosts reminisce about their embarrassing early online handles—Clay's "BudLightAholic69" from AOL chat room days (which hilariously carried over into booking big bands like Papa Roach for his club), Shaun's MySpace monikers like "RedneckRockstar" and "Made of Scars" (inspired by a Stone Sour song), and Lindsey's cringe-worthy Yahoo and MySpace relics. They laugh about deleting MySpace accounts during breakups, getting mad over Top 8 friend lists, and wild road trip antics like writing "Honk if you MySpace" on a Nissan Xterra's window during a chaotic New Orleans adventure. The group reflects on '90s and early 2000s tech: ASL queries in chat rooms, dial-up AOL, illegal downloads via Napster and LimeWire (and the viruses that "gave your computer instant AIDS"), burning CDs, and the excitement of switching to Roadrunner cable modems. They share stories of sketchy online interactions, pondering how many "old men" were lurking in those chat rooms, and tie it back to modern kids' lack of understanding of rejection or dial-up frustrations.   Retro Rides and First Cars: Shifting gears, the hosts bond over '90s and 2000s vehicles: Nissan Xterras as the ultimate "2000s car," Mitsubishi Montero Sports aging well, jacked-up Porsche SUVs looking like zombie apocalypse rigs, and first cars like Shaun's 1985 Ford Bronco and a Ford Probe GT. They geek out over Geo Storms, '96 Mustangs, and custom rides, sharing awkward encounters like Clay waving down a neighbor to compliment his vehicle—only to get a cold response.   Local News Breakdown: Jackson's Park Pivot and City Improvements: Things get serious with breaking news from the Clarion Ledger: New Jackson Mayor John Horn scraps the Lumumba-era "Pulse at Farish Street" park plan (involving skate parks, pickleball courts, and more) tied to a federal bribery scandal. Instead, the site will become a functional parking lot for the Jackson Convention Complex, addressing long-standing issues like inadequate parking and crumbling lots. The hosts praise the common-sense move, criticizing the original plan's focus on "white" activities like frisbee golf and pickleball in a 90% Black city, and highlight how it could generate revenue without fixed investments. They discuss broader Jackson challenges: crime deterring development, the need for events over permanent fixtures, and how simply stopping "wrong things" (like incompetence in contracts) could heal the city. Shoutouts to Super Chats and viewer support lead to ideas for community events funded by donations.   Crime and Altercations: Adams County Incident and Self-Defense Debates: The episode tackles a viral video of an altercation in Adams County near Natchez, where a group of white men assaulted Black cyclist Reginald Butler on a bridge. Butler later returned armed, leading to a second confrontation where he shot one assailant (Cameron Talton) in self-defense, resulting in arrests on both sides (aggravated assault for Butler and others). The hosts dissect the confusing reports, questioning if it's a hate crime (potentially drawing Ben Crump), the role of Butler retrieving a gun, and self-defense laws (no duty to retreat in Mississippi, but leaving and returning complicates claims). They compare it to past cases like a local manslaughter involving a bouncer and emphasize waiting for full context, as initial videos often mislead (citing a Crystal Springs trooper incident).   Policy Proposals and Cultural Critiques: Ski Mask Ban and COVID Reflections: Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade's proposal to ban ski masks in public (citing intimidation and evading facial recognition) sparks debate on masks generally—COVID-era "face diapers," hoodies in summer as red flags for crime, and why concealing identity screams suspicion. The hosts slam draconian COVID measures (e.g., Tate Reeves banning boats on reservoirs, restaurant restrictions), praising Florida's pivot while criticizing California's extremes (filling skate parks with sand). They reflect on unaccountable politicians, lost loved ones dying alone, and calls for laws like the "No One Left Alone Act."   National Hot Topics: Epstein Files, Trump Admin Drama, and More: The discussion heats up on Jeffrey Epstein files: Trump's shifting stance ("release credible information"), Megyn Kelly's takedown of Ben Shapiro, demands from Mike Johnson, and speculation on black swan events distracting from it. They critique conservative influencers like Charlie Kirk for dodging the topic to maintain access, praise independent voices like Tucker Carlson and Kelly, and tie in Biden's preemptive pardons (e.g., for Fauci, Hunter) as legally dubious blankets covering potential crimes like gain-of-function research linked to millions of deaths.   Shoutouts and Local Plugs: Shoutouts to viewers, Super Chats, and local businesses like Mocha Mugs in Rankin County (two locations: drive-thru at the old bank near Burgers Blues Barbecue and another at the Exxon by Kroger). The hosts encourage supporting local spots and tipping generously.   Wrap-Up and Teasers: This episode blends humor, nostalgia, and hard-hitting analysis, proving why Uncensored Live is a must-watch for unvarnished takes on Mississippi life and beyond. Tune in tomorrow for more—same time, same raw energy. Follow on YouTube, Facebook, X, and WYAB 103.9 FM. What did you think of the Adams County case or the ski mask ban?

Not guilty. That's the verdict delivered by an all-white jury in Tennessee for three former Memphis police officers in the brutal 2023 beating of Tyre Nichols. Nichols, a 29-year-old unarmed Black man, died just days after being kicked, pepper-sprayed and pummeled by officers from a now-disbanded special unit. Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith were all cleared of state charges: second-degree murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping and official misconduct — despite graphic body cam footage and expert testimony labeling their force excessive and unnecessary. His only crime was allegedly fleeing a traffic stop. Civil rights attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci called the acquittal a "devastating miscarriage of justice." The Rev. Al Sharpton, who eulogized Nichols and spoke with his parents after the verdict, blasted the decision and questioned why a jury was brought in from outside Memphis. Learn more about your ad choices.

Instead of watching President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress tonight, a powerful group of civil rights leaders, elected officials, journalists, and advocates launched the inaugural State of the People Livestream. It kicked off at midnight, and this 24-hour marathon is providing a critical alternative to the president's speech, offering what organizers say is a real assessment of the nation's current state. Journalist Joy Reid, in her first appearance since leaving MSNBC, set the tone as the livestream's opening speaker. Over the next 24 hours, influential voices like Stacey Abrams, Ibram X. Kendi, Ben Crump, Tamika Mallory, Angela Rye, and many others will engage in conversations focused on the harmful impact of what they see as the administration's first two months. The event, held on stateofthepeople.media, calls on Congress to reject complicity and urges officials to stand with the people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to episode 256 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Luke W Russell, the award-winning host of Lawful Good.   Award-winning host of Lawful Good, Luke W. Russell, returns with a new platform: Beautiful Humans. Luke entered the legal world in 2011 and has since managed $30 million in social media ad budgets, driving thousands of personal injury and mass tort cases. Everything began to change when on January 1st, 2021, Luke launched Lawful Good, a groundbreaking podcast that shared untold stories of prominent lawyers like Ken Hardison, John Morgan, and Ben Crump. After three successful seasons, the podcast ended, but it sparked Luke's realization that storytelling was his true passion.   Now blending years of study in human connection with powerful storytelling, Luke focuses on harnessing film to drive business objectives and foster meaningful connections. His work includes documentaries on survivors of child sex abuse and the Beautiful Humans movement launched in Fall 2024. Beautiful Humans renews our sense of shared humanity, championing the belief that all humans are inherently beautiful. As the industry shifts toward AI, Luke's insights show how firms can leverage the vital, biologically-rooted power of human connection to thrive in an increasingly digital world. What you'll learn about in this episode: 1. How You Can Use Film and Video to Create Trust  Videos can be a tool for shareing personal stories that connect with your audience, helping build trust and authenticity.  This could mean using a video to showcase marginalized groups or sensitive topics, showing your commitment to justice and compassion.  2. Why Intentional Storytelling Resonates With An Audience   Sharing authentic stories helps audiences see themselves in the experiences, creating deeper emotional connections. Intentional storytelling builds understanding and empathy, even across differing perspectives or backgrounds.  3. How Lawyers Can Maximize Film and Video for Marketing and ROI    Videos that emphasize human connection build credibility and loyalty, helping law firms attract and retain clients.  Incorporating films into PR, social media, and email marketing campaigns boosts engagement and increases conversions, turning trust into measurable business growth. 4.  Why Both Short-Form and Long-Form Video Have Lasting Impacts  Longer videos provide the opportunity for deeper connection, allowing law firms to share impactful stories that resonate and establish trust with their audience.  Short videos can amplify a law firm's message in a quick, memorable way, helping to establish a strong, consistent brand presence across social media and digital platforms.  5. How the Beautiful Humans Movement Strengthens Shared Humanity  By showcasing individual beauty and experiences, the Beautiful Humans Movement encourages empathy and deeper understanding across diverse communities.  The movement uses storytelling to challenge negative stereotypes and promote unity, encouraging people to see and appreciate the humanity in others.  Resources:  https://www.beautifulhumans.film https://www.youtube.com/@BeautifulHumansFilm https://www.facebook.com/lukewrussell https://www.instagram.com/beautidians/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukewrussell/   Additional Resources:  https://www.pilmma.org/aiworkshop https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind

It's Hump Day! And Sam is live from the Mass Torts Conference in Las Vegas! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the build of Hurricane Milton as it approaches Florida, Harris' campaign for the right, Biden's commitment to Israel, DOJ vs. Google, Trump's blocking of a Kavanaugh FBI investigation, abortion bans, Boeing machinist's ongoing labor action, Elons cucking to Lula, the ever-crumbling Eric Adams Administration, and the GOP's mass investment in anti-trans attacks, before parsing a little more thoroughly through the impending threat of Hurricane Milton. After touching on the important distinction between mass torts and class action lawsuits, Sam is joined by Attorney Kim Adams with Levin Pappantonio to discuss her ongoing litigation against the Canadian porn company formerly known as MindGeek (now Aylo) for encouraging, facilitating, and helping to disseminate child pornography on their site, unpacking the law (Section 230) that protects platforms from legal liability for third-party content and the tension between that and the active production, curation, boosting, and highlighting of said liable content, not to mention the heightened responsibility for pornography companies to be aware of the content the platform and sponsor. After expanding on the extensive community of impacted parties, be they plaintiffs or potential class members, and exploring the distinction between hosting and publishing, Adams summarizes the case's state right now. Next, Andy Birchfield from Beasley Allen joins, diving right into the ever-ongoing case against Johnson & Johnson for their manufacturing, sale, and promotion of their Talc-based baby powder formula despite internal awareness of the presence of asbestos and the devastating medical impact it can have on mothers and their children, with a particular focus on J&J knowingly marketing this toxic powder as a feminine hygiene product and the resulting development of ovarian cancer amongst consumers. Next, Birchfield dives deep into J&J's implementation of the “Texas Two-Step” legal maneuver to avoid responsibility, splitting off all of its liabilities from its assets into a separate company, before immediately moving said company to the asbestos-liability haven of North Carolina, where it would attempt to declare bankruptcy and render any attempts at accountability or compensation null. Walking through the circle of attrition that this has created in the courts, as we enter a third attempt to declare bankruptcy, Andy and Sam wrap up with the future of this case and the role public pressure, congressional legislation, and the questionable morals of J&J leadership all play in hopefully bringing this to a close. Sam and Emma also expand on the developing story about the Trump White House's obstruction of an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh's allegations of sexual assault. The crew watches Sean Hannity compares abortion restrictions to the draft before chatting with attorneys Brian Barr of Levin Papantonio and the legendary Ben Crump about their representation of Roger Fortson, a U.S. airman shot to death by police. They then discuss the back-and-forth sniping between Kamala Harris and Ron DeSantis over taking a phone call regarding hurricane assistance, and Benjamin Netanyahu benevolently addressing the people of Lebanon (major sarcasm intended).

In 1943, Richard James, a naval engineer, was in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard working on a project that used springs to hold items up on moving ships, when he accidentally knocked down a spring and watched it "walk" and then coil itself up neatly on the floor. It was an idea-inspiring moment, and along with his wife, Betty, a plan was hatched to create a new toy. Betty combed through a dictionary and came up with the name "Slinky," and in 1945, with a 500 dollar loan, the couple created James Industries. At first, the Slinkys weren't selling, but when a demonstration table was set up in Philadelphia's Gimbels Department Store during the 1945 holiday shopping season, the James's sold 400 of them for a dollar each in 90 minutes—and people wanted more.

6.5.2024 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: GA Election Case Halted, Rep. Byron Donalds & Jim Crow, Ex-Black Panther Party Leader & Donald Trump Atlanta for Steve Harvey's Charity Golf Classic. I'll talk about the tournament later in the show, but here's what's coming Up on Roland Martin Unfiltered, streaming live on the Black Star Network. The Georgia Court of Appeals has halted the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump while it reviews the lower court judge's ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case. Trump-loving Florida Congressman Byron Donalds suggested to a crowd of Black Philadelphia conservatives that things were better under Jim Crow.  House Minority Leader Congressman Hakeem Jeffries took to the House Floor to give Lil Byron a history lesson. And a White Wisconsin man shoved a black school superintendent so his daughter would not shake his hand during a graduation ceremony.  The family of David Hilliard, a former leader of the Black Panther Party, says the video of him endorsing Donald Trump for president is entirely true.  Hilliard's grandson will be here to explain.  Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and Ben Crump were on Capitol Hill today to promote Black representation in the liquor industry. In our Tech Talk segment, Isaac Hayes III, the Manager and Founder of Fanbase, will explain how white corporate greed pushed the black founders of MoviePass out of their company.  #BlackStarNetwork advertising partners:Fanbase

Okaloosa County Sheriff released body-camera video of a fatal use of force against and armed apartment dweller. This after race-baiter and hate monger blood money attorney Ben Crump, got involved.  Roger Fortson, 23, was an Airman, and according to multiple news agencies, was a black person. Of course the tragedy of a possibly mistaken address or identity is not enough, race must be brought into the issue. The politicians and the lawyers don't care if the cities burn, if departments are defunded, and there is no one to come help when you dial 9-1-1. because by then they will have gotten what they already wanted: more power for themselves. Former cop Eric and current cop Tyler take on the case-- the other side is about to stoke the flames of hatred with lies, but these guys will tell you their perspective from years spent behind the badge.  Learn more about your ad choices.
