Jon Ronson in the first episode of season 2 of his BBC podcast Things Fell Apart presents an amazing story that provides some additional context on the restraint protocol used on George Floyd. (It does not undercut or affirm anything in the case.) it's the first episode of season 2 and it's called The Most Mysterious Deaths. It begins by recounting a serial murder investigation in Florida in the 80s.

Thanks for John and Glenn for having difficult and necessary conversations. If Ellison comes on, which I have my doubts, I would love to hear him respond to the guests allegations, in detail. A 2 to 3 hour civil podcast? I'm ready.

Until one month ago I lived less than 1 mile from that intersection. Can confirm it became INCREDIBLY dangerous. Heinous crimes happened in and around that area- probably still do! But we got out... I just hope that we can sell our home.

Correction “They’re Lying” by Liz Collin on Audible. You’ll hear actual voices. Very informative!

Please stop saying " George Floyd was killed "

George Floyd was a drug using criminal who preyed upon his community and neighbors.

He died while resisting arrest. The drugs in his system are what caused his death.

Hey Dr Loury What do we do with the reaction Cornell West is demonstrating in regard to the Air Force man who set himself on fire yesterday. That West would hail this as an act of courage suggests that Cornell is uplifting mental illness. This young man hurts himself today and what’s next and how far is that from hurting others. I’m disgusted with Cornell West and apologize but I didn’t know where else to ask you the question. Cornell West has dimished himself

I live in SF and we have a particular Police Commissioner, Max Carter Oberstone, who constantly pushes anti police narrative based on his "social justice" law background. I don't see things improving any time soon because there are too many Max's out there pushing thru police policies that affect public safety. https://time.com/6175852/pretextual-traffic-stops/

An anti-police, police commissioner. That’s just perfect for Biden’s America.

“They’re Lying” by Liz Collin on Audible you hear the real voices. Ellison has a checkered history. Please listen before you interview him. I was born & raised there. So sad to go back!

You can't fix this.

This is what they like and how they want it.

You can only move away.

How would you like to be the gas station owner?

Surrounded by looting savages. Sounds like something from a time and place long ago.

Wasn't Michael Caine in a movie about similar circumstances? It was made in the 60's.
