2.7.2022 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Amir Locke Murder Connection to other cases, GA Judge booted off case, Missouri's Ahmaud Arbery Act Two of the Minneapolis SWAT members were the same ones involved in the Jaleel Stallings case and the judge who signed that no-knock warrant....The judge who presided over the Derek Chauvin case. Georgia Fort will give us the latest after a weekend of protests. The defense team for a black man in Georgia claiming self-defense for killing a white teen said they got a break. The judge they say had some racial biases was kicked off the case. We'll have someone from JustGeorgia here with the latest in the Marc Wilson case. Their plea deal fell through, so today, the federal hate crime trial for the three men convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery began with jury selection. Ahmaud Arbery's murder sparked a Missouri state Senator to pen the Ahmaud Arbery Act to prevent citizens from killing people they think are committing a crime. That Senator will join us tonight to tell us about this new legislation. Plus, the Bridgeport Connecticut Police department has a history of racist practices.   #RolandMartinUnfiltered partner: Nissan | Check out the ALL NEW 2022 Nissan Frontier!
