ACAB Radio - Episode 28




The SNLS Network show

Summary: ACAB Radio is a police accountability podcast that is broadcast LIVE every Tuesday on Facebook out of Las Vegas by 2 local activists from Food Not Bombs Las Vegas and Nevada Cop Block. We're your hosts: Kelly "Special K" Patterson and Jay Lyfer. We focus primarily on local, national, and global police news stories that make headlines every week. We also discuss issues surrounding the homeless crisis here in the US and abroad. We cover these topics because it's something that we are all very passionate about, but we do talk about other stuff too. We hope you all enjoy the show!

They were extremely shocked and offended by posters about police brutality that were on the wall of the school. Those posters at Elisabeth Ann Johnson High School were part of an assignment on the Fourth and Fifth Amendments and not actually in any way related to the unwarranted (no pun intended) search the police were subjecting them to at the time. In another story, body cam footage was released of a shooting in which Milwaukee police claimed a man was armed. In reality, the video shows that Jerry Smith Jr. was not armed and was in fact following the commands of the cops at the time they shot him. In addition, for the second time in recent weeks a black man who acted as the proverbial "good guy with a gun" during a shooting has been killed by a bad apple with a gun. Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr. was legally armed and not involved in any way with a shooting that took place inside the Riverchase Galleria mall in Hoover, Alabama, on Thanksgiving night. In spite of that, he was immediately shot by a cop who was moonlighting as a security guard. Other topics include the resignation of the Broward Sheriff's Office Captain who was in charge of the response to the mass shooting at Parkland High School, immigration/border issues, sex crimes by cops, and police harassment of homeless people and those who want to help them.
