In The Streets with Beverley Smith: Y'allQueda (Episode 52a) - a podcast by the LMC Radio Network

from 2016-01-15T02:00

:: ::

The latest from Oregon on the armed, right-wing militia that has taken over a federal building and is threatening to meet any and all resistance with gunfire. The local authorities are handling them with careful, kid gloves -- a sharp contrast to how unarmed, peaceful Black marchers in Ferguson and nationwide have been treated. The Tamir Rice non-indictment. 12 year old Ciara Meyer, a Caucasian girl, was killed by police evicting her family from their home. It remains to be seen if people will tie themselves into knots, explaining and justifying her shooting, just like they've done to Tamir Rice. Or if she will receive swift justice.  Eric Garner's killer, the cop who choked him to death, will not be charged, but guess which police officer will be charged instead.  The US Supreme Court weighs in on Florida's death penalty laws. Former Lousiana Gov Bobby Jindal is out, and over 100,000 Lousiana residents rejoice because they can finally have healthcare. The state of Michigan knew the water in Flint was poisoned, but they served it to the largely Black community, hid evidence, botched testing, and continue to send the residents water bills.  And more.

Originally scheduled for last Tues but cancelled due to technical difficulties, this prerecorded episode will air on Thursday, January 14, 6pm Pacific
