The 1992 Los Angeles Uprising was sparked after a jury acquitted four LAPD officers who had been charged with using excessive force in the arrest and beating of Rodney King on April 29, 1992. For the anniversary of the civil unrest, MHD and his co-host, Chavonne Taylor, discuss new policing and public safety models with PUSH LA (Promoting Unity, Safety & Health in Los Angeles) convener Leslie Cooper Johnson and former LAPD Officer Brian S. Bentley.Leslie Cooper Johnson is the Vice President of Organizational Development at Community Coalition, or CoCo, a social justice organization in South Los Angeles, where she has worked for the past 15 years. A lifelong resident of Inglewood, she received her Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. As part of her role at CoCo, Leslie convenes the PUSH LA collective, which stands for Promoting Unity, Safety & Health in Los Angeles. PUSH LA was formed in response to decades of racist policing and has a mission to “reimagine protect & serve.”Brian S. Bentley is an author and a former LAPD officer. His first book, One Time: The Story of a South Central Los Angeles Police Officer, graphically depicts his involvement in suspect beatings and describes in detail the gratification he and his partners received from their actions. He claims some officers are addicted to violence and can't stop on their own. His book lets readers see firsthand how police brutality is accepted and encouraged in law enforcement. Bentley spent most of his career at Southwest Division. He was one of the few LAPD officers who lived in the division they patrolled.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Brian S. Bentley. A former LAPD officer, Mr. Bentley worked as an enforcement officer during the turbulent 1990's. He's written books about his experience and done multitudes of interviews over the years. The C.O.W.S. Book Club began our study of 1990's Los Angeles with the study of O.J. Simpson's 1995 double murder trial. Perhaps the most important trial in the history of U.S. jurisprudence, led us to examine the wrongful conviction of Geronimo Pratt, who sat in a California prison for more than 25 years. Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. worked the defense for both Simpson and Pratt, and earned a heap of scorn from Whites around the world. During the midst of all of this, formed LAPD officer Brian S. Bentley protected and served the citizens of Los Angeles. We'll discuss how the beating of Rodney King and the subsequent riots as well as the Mark Fuhrman tapes impacted police conduct and training. We'll also discuss the explosive revelations that followed Simpson acquittal, including the killing of black LAPD offcer Kevin Gaines by White officer Frank Lyga. Bentley reports that he worked with Gaines and rejects the "official" position that Gaines was a gang-banging, rogue cop who should have been killed. Importantly, Gaines was murdered 9 days after the execution of entertainer Christopher Wallace (Notorious B.I.G.) and two months after the murder of Ennis Cosby. All in the same city. #LALABigCityofDreams INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Dave Huffman is a good friend of mine. In this podcast we discuss how he handled his wife’s battle with cancer and how he valiantly took care of his family before and after her passing. We discuss getting re-married afterwards and how I tried to talk him out of it. We also chat about many lighter topics like dirty cities, why everyone from Florida is crazy, how amazing the The Villages retirement community is where he works.
