Episode 61 : Professor Erwin ChemerinskyErwin Chemerinsky is the Dean of UC Berkeley School of Law and in his new book, Presumed Guilty: How the Supreme Court Empowered the Police and Subverted Civil Rights. Listen as Professor Chemerinsky details how Police are nine times more likely to kill Black men than they are other Americans, nearly one in every thousand Black Men will die at the hands of an officer and so much more. Professor Chemerinsky makes the powerful argument that none of it is an accident but in fact the horrific result of an elaborate body of court decisions that allow law enforcement and the courts to undermine constitutional protections against self-incrimination and unreasonable searches and seizures. This is an eye opening interview that gets straight to the point and also offers suggestions on what can be done about some of the blatant racism detailed in the book Presumed Guilty: How the Supreme Court Empowered the Police and Subverted Civil Rights.*You can Subscribe to Tell Us The Truth on all leading podcast apps including the iHeart Radio App, Spreaker and iTunes/Apple Podcasts.
