Sonic Overload 8/11/14

18 year old Michael Brown was shot to death by police in Ferguson, MO this past weekend. He was unarmed and there are conflicting reports as to what happened but there have been strong protests and an FBI investigation is underway. NAACP president Cornell William Brooks said, “The death of yet another African American at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve the community where he lived is heartbreaking.” The second segment of this week’s show starts with a report from Democracy Now detailing what was known up until that point. Of course, there will be more developments and one hopes that justice will be served. I think a healthy amount of skepticism is appropriate as to whether or not that will ever happen...
