I Can't Breathe Part 3: Under Arrest and Distress

I Can't Breathe Part 3: Under Arrest and Distress

In this final episode of the "I Can't Breathe" Podcast Series, I invite my guest to share their personal experiences with unnecessary police harassment.

I close the series with a simple conversation with my guest (BJ) and we share our true stories about some of the racism we have experiences with law enforcement and throughout our life in general.

Within the conversation we discuss:

  • What happened (the event)
  • What was going through our mind when the situation occurred
  • The outcome
  • Did the event leave a negative impression about law enforcement

We also touch on the unnecessary shooting of Rayshard Brooks, and the actions Mayor Keisha Bottoms is taking to show that she isn't taking this lightly, by tightening up the rules on police force used by Atlanta officers. 

We also discuss the concept of unappropriate police brutality towards blacks came from "slave patrols"... and you wonder why we are always in a state of distress. There's a lot behind this - Listen In.
