In this eye-opening episode, we journey through George Floyd's life and unveil his struggle with drug addiction and the systemic forces that criminalized him for self-medicating. We expose the corruption within the criminal justice system and private prisons, and delve into Derek Chauvin's chilling history of brutality. As we examine the systemic roots of Floyd's life and the dire need for change in policing, we emphasize the importance of becoming our own news source and seeking the truth in cases like George Floyd's.
