Description

Today we are looking deeper into MPD terrorism and brutality by going beyond the visible players and shining light on some of the behind the scenes power brokers that prop up the status quo. The law firm Rice, Michels & Walther were long time legal representation for the Minneapolis Federation of Police, representing them in collective bargaining, arbitration and as lobbyists at the state capital. We do a basic overview of the firms role protecting killer cops and do a deeper dive into a founding partner and DFL political operative Brian Rice. 

Huge shout out to our producer Isaac Specktor for crafting the intro from live audio captured at a NE Minneapolis Solidarity Vigil for George Floyd, the speakers you hear are Marie and Porscia, salute to them and everyone else who came out. 

The song you here on rally audio is Nurture and Neglect pt 2 by Jayanthi Kyle, a part of the Dismembered and Unarmed project executive produced by Resmaa Menakem, I Self Devine and Medium Zack.
