Tune in for an hour or more of news, information and commentary.

Today we will be joined in conversation by New Abolitionist Paul Whaley. Paul Whaley is former military and a former prison guard who has been persuaded to become a 21st Century Abolitionist. The conversation will center around the murder charges levied against Tremaine Wilbourn who says he was defending himself when he killed Memphis cop and former Iraqi combat veteran Sean Bolton. Mr. Whaley like myself, believes there needs to be an organization focused on legal cases like that of Mr. Wilbourn.

There is also suspicion that someone if cleaning up the digital footprint of Mr. Bolton and an effort to play down his military training and combat veteran status. How much do we know about Mr. Bolton but there are plenty of questions about him that need answers because those answers could have wider policy implications like departmental hiring practices. If we consider the likely hood that Sean Bolton saw combat in Iraq and could suffer from PTSD, lets look at the symptoms and the pharmaceutical drugs used to treat PTSD and see if it may explain the aggression Mr. Wilbourn’s sister said Boiton used against her brother.
