    YOU MAY FIND THIS EPISODE DISTURBING.

    This episode was supposed to be another chapter from Counter Punch. But, with what we have seen on television this week, I felt compelled to give an episode to George Floyd and his family.

    George Floyd was the man who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer (Derek Chauvin) by placing a knee on his neck (with his hands in his pockets) for over eight minutes while George pled for his life. Three other officers were also involved.

    This episode is more of a stream of consciousness on the subject of police violence and those lost. I have not edited this podcast and am allowing it to run as is.

    Please note that I have included a clip from ABC's Nightline with Juju Chang reporting that includes graphic audio of the murder of George Floyd. However, that clip lasts less than one minute.

    In this episode I discuss:

    - Social injustice and police violence

    - The George Floyd murder

    - Philando Castile's murder

    - Sandra Bland's murder

    - Eric Garner's murder

    - Tamir Rice's murder (12 year old murdered by Cleveland police)

    - Colin Kaepernick and taking a knee

    - MLK peaceful protests

    - The Holocaust and Jewish experience

    - Slavery

    - NextDoor community

    - Archie Williams and the Innocence Project (man who was in prison for 36 years before he was exonerated by DNA evidence) and AGT (America's Got Talent)

    - Deflecting by using black-on-black crime to excuse police violence

    NOTE: I am so sorry I did not mention Breonna Taylor, an EMT First Responder killed/gunned down in her bed by the police looking for someone they already had in custody.
