    Oklahoma cop grabs Indigenous grandmother for not walking on a sidewalk

    Oklahoma cop grabs Indigenous grandmother for not walking on a sidewalk

    Read the transcript of this podcast: https://therealnews.com/oklahoma-cop-grabs-indigenous-grandmother-for-not-walking-on-a-sidewalk

    Police brutality and racial profiling are not uncommon in the city of Shawnee, Oklahoma—a place where multiple Indigenous nations were forcibly relocated to during the 19th century. Shawnee today has a high population of Indigenous and Latine residents, and one woman, Jeanine R., recently caught the outrageous behavior of local police on video in an encounter she had with them while walking along the road with her grandson. Despite no sidewalk being available, Shawnee cop Anthony Starkey threatened Mrs. Jeanine with arrest and assault for failing to walk on a sidewalk, and for not having her ID on her. This sort of aggressive behavior from law enforcement towards Indigenous and Latine people such as herself is not uncommon, Mrs. Jeanine asserts. Police Accountability Report investigates.

    Cops want to ban cop watching. Here's how we fight back w_The Battousai & James Freeman _ PAR_PODCAST

    A recent article in The Washington Post highlighting the growth of cop watcher YouTube channels provided a rare mainstream spotlight on a movement that's developed entirely outside of elite institutions. But for all The Washington Post got right, a lot was missed as well. Police Accountability Report sits down with popular YouTube cop watchers The Battousai and James Freeman to discuss the state of cop watching today and how the police are trying to make the practice illegal.

    Police said his rights didn't matter, but they didn't know another camera was watching

    Read the transcript of this podcast: https://therealnews.com/la-county-sheriffs-keep-pulling-people-over-for-bogus-reasons-this-time-they-got-caught

    A Los Angeles County Sheriff's traffic stop, allegedly conducted for excessive window tinting, led to a fishing expedition that stranded an innocent passenger at night without her phone, wallet, keys or transportation. But cop watchers @laurasharkcw @tomzebra and @jodiekatmedia appeared on the scene to hold LASD accountable and to assist the stranded passenger. This week on the Police Accountability Report, hosts Taya Graham and Stephen Janis speak with Tom and Laura about the encounter and discuss what this case reveals about the phenomenon of over policing and the incentive structure behind the questionable allocation of police time and resources.

    Cuffed for creativity: Texas chalk artist's arrest triggers First Amendment dispute

    Cuffed for creativity: Texas chalk artist's arrest triggers First Amendment dispute

    Chalk artist Joshua Hinson was finishing up a community art project in Leon Valley, Texas when local cops confronted him over his art, which they incorrectly described as "graffiti." Hinson's arrest, which was captured on video, has raised questions about the protection of art under the First Amendment, and the overreach and abuse of power exercised by police in regulating public space. The charges against Hinson were ultimately dropped, but the problems his case raises about the police as an institution remain. Police Accountability Report investigates.

Important and thorough

Really important information on this podcast. Only thing I’d suggest to make it better is to steel man the other side more, we’re all afraid of violence. Go into the reasons why the conditions for violence exist.
