Third Rail Eps 11: Street Talk

In “Street Talk” we discuss the most outrageous things that have been said or done to us on the street, and some of the ways we’ve reacted. Also in this installment, in the wake of Staten Island resident Eric Garner’s death at the hands of NYPD, we ask what has changed in Central Brooklyn policing since the recent passage of police reform legislation in the City Council.

Guests

Amaka Okechukwu, a member of BMC’s collective, No Disrespect
Ruby-Beth Buitekant, a Crown Heights based youth organizer
