XXP 26. Black Lives Matter

XXceedingly Persuasive

MacKenzie and Brooke discuss the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, David McAtee, James Scurlock and Dion Johnson and the lack of accountability in cases of police brutality against the Black community. The conversation also addresses the recent curfews and the First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly, the "knock-and-announce" requirement when law enforcement enters a residence, and the charge of "felony murder" brought against some perpetrators.
