Today, we discuss a few stories in the first half of the show that we have been waiting to get to. First we talk about the lack of consequences for the officers responsible for the death of Jayland Walker. We then discuss the lack of consequences for the officer that took the life of Elijah McClain. Finally we discuss the Goon Squad from Mississippi and how they were allowed to inflict harm on Black communities for years without any accountability.
In the second half of the show, we discuss a traffic stop in which an Alabama police woman tases a handcuffed Black man on camera while mocking him.
Our Way Black History Fact uncovers the story of how U.S. backed banks robbed ex-slaves of the equivalent of over a billion dollars after the Civic War.

About Civic Cipher
Civic Cipher is a weekly radio show hosted by Ramses Ja and Q. Ward. This show is dedicated to empowering Black and Brown voices, allowing them to engage directly with their communities as well as the general population. Self-determination is critical to securing a future free of oppressive systems, and Civic Cipher exists to facilitate discussions toward this end. Furthermore, Civic Cipher seeks to inform non-POC allies who may not be privy to these types of discussions and optics. Finally, Civic Cipher seeks to provide long-form conversations in spaces where there is often a lack of significant resources, potent dialogue, or the necessary engagement for facilitating a healthy and productive civil discourse.
