Jeff Sidner: Thoughts on the Mpls Uprising

The DarbiCast

Today the show mostly shifts away from coronavirus/quarantine talk and to the murder of George Floyd and the resulting uprising in Minneapolis. I welcome Jeff Sidner, a Black entrepreneur who owns a karate school just a couple of miles from where Floyd was brutally killed by a police officer. He shares his thoughts on the uprising and on the divide between cops and the Black communities they serve.

NY Time The Daily covers the systems that protect police from retribution for violence: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/podcasts/the-daily/george-floyd-protests.html 2.
