What will it take for us to take police bias seriously?

You can also find previous episodes on YouTube here.

 

Once again we are confronted with a week where two black men were killed by police officers. The one on video shows the person following police orders and still getting killed. The second one was a man just sitting in his car seemingly waiting for his son. It is clear that every person of color has reason to fear any encounter with police irrespective of their behavior. Police bias is real. We will talk about that.

Before I get to the program, I want to remind all our listeners that KPFT is a bastion of intelligent voices and programs. As a political activist, my favorites are

  • The Monitor with Mark Bebawi on Mondays at 7:00 PM
  • ThinkWing Radio with Mike Honig on Mondays at 9:00 PM
  • Partisan Gridlock with Geoff Berg on Fridays at 3:00 PM
  • Open Journal with Duane Bradley, Marlo Blue, & Gerry van Bakel every weekday at 8:00 AM
  • Jazz Latino, AfroCuban Latin Jazz at its very best hosted by Juan Flores on Mondays at 10:00 PM

Check out our full schedule at kpft.org where you can find programming from music to politics, to medicine, to the eclectic. KPFT is listener supported public community radio station. So please remember that if you like what you hear, visit kpft.org and ensure we remain a strong, viable community radio station that provides news, programming, and information not influenced by the corporatocracy.

This is KPFT 90.1 FM in Houston Texas. We want to hear your voice. We want to hear your thoughts. Let’s  talk. I will also be following our hashtag #PoliticsDoneRight on Twitter @EgbertoWillies.
