  1. State Terror Round Up for the Week of November 18th, 2024

    State Terror Round Up for the Week of November 18th, 2024

    Law Enforcement in this country kills approximately 1,200 people every single year and yet the names of many are never said or known except to their families and friends. What’s more, law enforcement agencies and other state actors harm our community in a myriad of ways that also go unnoticed like profiling, assaulting and wrongfully incarcerating our people. If we don’t know its happening – then we can’t fight back. We cant adequately organize a response. So, every week on Law & Disorder we do a round up of news related to state violence. We hope this segment will serve to expose, agitate and build. This is the State Terror Round Up for the week of November 18th, 2024. —- This episode featured music by Kofy Brown.
