Today’s packed show starts by staying on top of the latest in state violence with our weekly State Terror Roundup. We go deep into the Antioch Police Department, where 10% of the city’s police force were suspended in scandal earlier this week, with KPFA’s Frank Sterling. Then we speak with Pulitzer Prize-wining journalist Tom Jackman, the lead reporter on a Washington Post exposé, published on Tuesday, that uncovers the problematic investigation into the police shooting of John Albers in Overland Park, Kansas. We also read some letters we’ve received from our listeners behind bars, and we’ll wrap up the hour with the voice of Ryan Nicole, this week’s Artist Resistance in Residence guest.
