Episode 13: No Justice, No Surprise
When Breonna Taylor was murdered by the Louisville Police Department as they had a no-knock warrant for a suspect yet went to the wrong house, it sparked a movement featuring creative ways to send the message that the cops responsible needs to be punished, however the recent Grand Jury verdict shows a different yet not unexpected outcome. Buko examines how this came to be, how this is very similar to the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson back in 2014 and why you should never expect justice under an historically unjust system.  Music by Legion Beats  (www.legionbeats.com)  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bukoradio/support
