NOTES
All three of the officers who murdered Breonna Taylor in March (103 days ago now) remain at large. None of them have been arrested, charged with a single thing, or held accountable in any way for their killing of an innocent woman - and subsequent lying about the incident in their reports. Abolition in mind, justice must still be served. These officers' names are Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove. Hankison has been fired, while the other two are on "administrative reassignment", presumably so they can kill more innocent people in a different part of town. The fact that the state has moved to pass "Breonna's Law" without actually bringing Breonna's killers to justice is an insult. The law bans no-knock search warrants and requires all officers who serve warrants to wear body cameras and have them turned on from at least five minutes before the warrant is served to at least five minutes after it is served.
On another note, the music on the show today is especially fantastic, and international! We've got tracks off of new releases by ONO, Special Interest, The 6th Dimension, NNAMDÏ, Shabazz Palaces, and more. A lot of these tracks, especially the more recently released ones, contain a lot of energy inspired by the recent anti-racist uprising throughout the country. The show's funky opener, for example, is a song called "Cops Don't Care About The Drip" by The Cocker Spaniels from Charlotte, North Carolina. The song is a critique on the fallacious respectability politic claiming that the way Black people dress determines much of their fate at the hands of racist police and racists in general. "Medgar - died in a suit! Malcolm - died in a suit! Martin - died in a suit!" sings the pre-chorus on the track. You can hear more from the Cocker Spaniels on Sean Padilla's Patreon, which I highly recommend you subscribe to.

Thanks for listening, will see y'all next week.
