From the murders of Trayvon
Martin to Tamir Rice, a person doesn’t have very far to look in order to see
the evidence that that cops, politicians, and ordinary people are afraid of
black men, and according to former federal prosecutor and professor of law at
Georgetown University Paul Butler
the result of this fear is the laws and practices that treat every African
American man like a criminal. In his new book, Choke Hold: Policing Black
Men Paul shows
that with the support of judges and politicians black men are for forced to
live in a system that keeps them always under watch and in danger of police
violence. Paul joins me on the show
today to talk all about the book the reasons why current efforts to reform law
enforcement will not create lasting change.
