Episode 383 with Mychal Denzel Smith and Wagatwe Wanjuki

Coming up on today's show we have Mychal Denzel Smith back on the show to discuss how the system that failed Eric Garner and Michael Brown is designed to protect the police and cannot be reformed.

We also have Wagatwe Wanjuki back on the show to discuss the University of Virginia/Rolling Stone rape scandal and how “he said/she said” framing is used to dismiss sexual assault.

We'll also discuss horrific right wing reactions to the Eric Garner grand jury announcement and how after 12 year old Tamir Rice was shot, police handcuffed his sister.
