In this episode I spoke with Dr. Sekou Franklin and Theeda Murphy. Both are members of Community Oversight Now, a coalition pushing for a police community oversight board in Nashville. The group is gathering petition signatures to get a COB Charter Amendment on the ballot later this year.
This interview includes discussion of their COB proposal, the previous effort to work through Metro Council, the shooting death of Jocques Clemmons, Mayor Barry's scandal, police body cameras, and more.
Nashville Sounding Board is a podcast dedicated to discussing social and political issues affecting Middle Tennessee.
