George Floyd Murder Trial a Test For ‘RACIST US Justice System’- Black Lives Matter’s Hawk Newsome

We speak to Hawk Newsome, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Greater New York. He discusses the trial of Derek Chauvin, the police officer accused of killing George Floyd, how the trial is a test for a ‘racist and biased’ US judicial system, the racist history of the police in the US, the connection between drug use and poverty that has been overshadowed by politicians and media drawing racial tropes between George Floyd’s race and the fact that he was on drugs at the time of his death, why he doesn’t see much difference between the Democratic and Republican parties and much more!
