In the first part of today's episode, we discuss the Rittenhouse verdict and what it means for the allies of Black and Brown people. We hold a critical examination of the judge in the trial as well as the optics from conservatives. We try to make sense of the inconsistencies in the logic behind the "self-defense" cry from 2nd amendment supporters as well.
In the second half of today's show, we discuss the verdict handed down in the trial of the killers of Ahmaud Arbery. We make several comparisons to the trail of Kyle Rittenhouse and how loosely "self-defense" was used in the trial. We also examine the legacy of policing in this country with our Way Black History Fact.
