Emmy Award Winning journalist Ben Swann joined host Brian Engelman on the “Agree To Disagree” radio show to discuss his recent project: “The Roots Of Police Militarization.”
Ben recently traveled to Ferguson, MO to cover the Mike Brown case for his new gig at RT.
Ben said that one of the main reasons Ferguson was so upset was because of the past 30 years of the “policing for profit” system that targets the residents finding crime in exchange for revenue. Ben breaks this all down with concrete examples of why the police have lost the support of their employers, “the people”.
Brian & Ben also discuss:
– Eric Garner
– MRAPS in Spokane, WA
– Russian politics
– The possibility of a Jeb Bush / Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential matchup, (Ben actually hopes this happens,…he’ll tell you why)
Plus:
The Sony “hack” raises many questions about the hypocrisy of the Obama administration in how they dealt with “The Innocence Of Muslims” video that they blamed for the Benghazi attacks, & how Obama criticized Sony for shelving “The Interview”.
& Much More!
