24 cops were reportedly injured in Memphis during protests arising from the US Marshalls service shooting and killing a young Black man in a predominately Black community.

Apparently, repealing the Hyde Amendment, the federal law that prohibits organizations like Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest and to save the life of the mother, has been a goal of Democrats since 2016 although Hillary Clinton nor Bernie Sander's talked about it much during the primary and general election. Recently, just about every Democrat and Bernie Sanders has talked a lot about repealing the Hyde Amendment. At no time during the 2016 campaign did Bernie Sanders mention that Medicare 4 All would include funding abortions.
Americans adults are evenly split on the issue of abortion according to a 2018 Gallup poll, 48 percent are pro-life while another 48 percent are pro-choice. Millennials are surprisingly more pro-life than they are pro-choice which makes abortion even more of a political wedge issue.
Did the Democrats make a mistake and give Donald Trump an issue for his base to rally around? Will this cause some pro-life independents and Democrats to vote for Trump who recently announced a new ban on fetal tissue research?

On today's podcast, I will be discussing the United Surveillance State of America which consists of government agencies on the local, state and federal level in partnership with private corporations like Amazon to unconstitutionally put American citizens under mass unwarranted surveillance to prevent social movements for justice and to increase the world's largest prison slave population.

BTR News - Multiple videos of superstar rapper Cardi B confessing to using the allure of used to drug and rob men. One of her admissions isn't really getting the scrutiny that it deserves and that is her admission to getting revenge on boyfriends she accused of cheating by tricking them into having with a transexual male. Considering the level of attention other forms of inappropriate sexual misconduct have received, we contacted Kim Melancon to address the controversy from the perspective of Gender Identity Accountability and the issue of rape by fraud.

BTR News - After a rapper made some inappropriate comments about the girlfriend of recently murdered rap artist and community activist Nipsey Hussle, Power 106, LA’s top hip-hop station, announced they’d no longer play the music of Kodak Black and one its DJs, Justin Credible tweeted, “We stand with the family of Nipsey Hussle and are appalled by the disrespectful and poor comments made by Kodak Black. With that, Power 106 will not support Kodak Black’s music."
It was also announced that a "Trap" museum was taking down the Kodak Black display. Considering the state of popular rap and the industry, some of the reactions seem a bit hypocritical. Joining me to break it all down is Kwabena Rasuli of Clear The Airwaves Project.

Black Talk Radio News - The cable news media and law & order types who seemingly believe the answer to resolving non-violent alleged offenses is to prosecute, convict and sentence to people to prison slavery. This sort of tough on crime" mentality related to the Jussie Smollett case is on display heavily on right-leaning networks and blogs but calls for punishment from so-called left-leaning cable news contributors and hosts.
Joining us on this BTR News Brief is Roy Fleming. Mr. Fleming is a progressive prosecutorial political consultant and strategist "who is a lawyer fighting to end mass incarceration". You can find out more about the services Mr. Fleming provides at foglightstrategies.org.
We will take a look at and discuss recent news concerning the actor Jussie Smollett who stood accused and charged for allegedly staging a hate crime in Chicago. According to Chicago news media outlet WGN,
Cook County prosecutors dropped all charges against actor Jussie Smollett Tuesday. He had been charged with 16 counts of disorderly conduct after Chicago police say he staged a racial and homophobic attack in the city in January. Those charges will be now be wiped from Smollett's record. Smollett performed recent community service, Monday and Saturday, with the Rainbow Push Coalition. They wrote a letter presented in court, along with the Black AIDS Foundation and Lyric Opera of Chicago, standing up for Smollett's character.
Take a listen and share these perspectives on the recent developments in the case and speculation on what led to the drop charges.
