Police brutality is alive and well in the US--STILL. Apparently removing Trump from office didn't bring about police accountability AT ALL. Here in Woodson Terrace, Missouri we have video of white police officers using a K9 attack dog on a black man accused of trespassing. The video was so reminiscent of Bull Connor and other Klan members sicking dogs on black citizens, that it received enough media attention to trigger an FBI investigation of that police department. 

Besides talking about the facts of the case, Jeanine will discuss the original 1989 Supreme Court Case known as Graham v. Connor, which granted police, not only a license to brutalize, but a--license to kill. Jeanine will also question a democratically controlled Congress and a Democratic president too cowardly to revoke the damage done by the Graham standard. 

Though the Graham standard disproportionally hurts communities of color--granting police a license to kill hurts us all. It sets the stage for a police state. 

Jeanine will also feature the Political Heros, Zeros, or Villains this week as well. 

Come join us at 6pm Eastern or anytime using the archived collection!
