Kim Potter is Sentenced; Teens in NJ Receive Disparate Treatment at Hands of Police
Show Notes

In this episode Serge and Clarke discuss two unrelated events: (1) the sentencing of former police officer Kim Potter after her conviction for manslaughter in the shooting death of Daunte Wright, and (2) an unfolding story of disparate treatment of two teenagers involved in a fight in a Bridgewater, New Jersey, shopping mall by police officers who arrive at the scene. One of the teenagers is Caucasian and one of the teenagers is African American. 

Both matters have received extensive press coverage, but Serge and Clarke offer facts and observations not found in press reports of these matters.
