In The Streets with Beverley Smith: United States of Terror (Episode 47) - a podcast by the LMC Radio Network

Two white masked gunmen opened fire on black protesters in Minneapolis on Monday night.  Five people were shot, two seriously wounded. Witnesses said that the gunmen yelled about race wars and white power. At the time of publication, police haven't yet managed to apprehend the suspects. Protesters remain at the police precinct, demanding the release of surveillance tape which is likely to have caught Jamar Clark's execution-style killing on November 15. The authorities steadfastly refuse to release the tape.  The police dash cam video of Laquan McDonald's murder is scheduled to be released to the public on Wednesday, November 25. Jason Von Dyke, the Chicago cop who shot Mr. McDonald 16 times (13 of which were pumped into his body after he'd fallen to the ground) has been charged with murder. Burger King has declared that the Chicago police deleted their surveillance video which recorded the shooting. "Officer of the Year" Jonathan Bleiweiss admitted raping and molesting 20 immigrants, threatening them with deportation if they didn't perform sex acts on him. He's been charged and convicted, but not with sex crimes. Donald Trump's supporters beat down a black man at one of Trump's rallies, while chanting "All lives matter." Trump doubled down, praising his supporters and suggesting that the black man deserved the beating. And more. Tuesday, November 24, 6pm Pacific.
