In The Streets with Beverley Smith: Skin Privilege On Fleek (Episode 56) - a podcast by the LMC Radio Network

Skin Privilege on Fleek!


Über driver shoots and kills six in Michigan. He is apprehended without a scratch. The media calls this an "isolated incident" and paints him - not as a "thug" - but as a "lone wolf" suffering from "mental illness". Sound familiar?


In Cincinnati, the day after police carefully and safely arrested a Caucasian man who brandished his weapon at them and verbally threatened them, the cops killed a black man, Paul Gaston, who was legally carrying a BB gun in an "open carry" state. You surprised?


The supporters of former NYPD officer Peter Liang say he was only convicted because he's Chinese. They insist that he be allowed to get off like a white cop would. Akai Gurley be damned.


Edward Currie, 31, died in Sacramento, CA police custody. As of Monday, Feb 22, the police refused to give information to his family. Wash, rinse, repeat.


Off-duty NYPD chief is harassed by an officer who didn't recognize him. Guess why?


All this and more. Tuesday, Feb 23, 6pm. Pacific
