When "Serve and Protect" becomes "Lie and Betray" Exploring the Police Killing Eddie Irizarry and Others on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast

By
The NeoLiberal Round Podcast Episode on YouTube breaks down the Eddie Irizarry Killing by Philadelphia Police and other police killings: https://youtu.be/bkuZZ08ajG0?si=aq-m0zeWRXqWDbIv

Warning: This podcast will show and discuss an unedited video of Eddie Irizarry being fatally shot by a Philadelphia Police, Mark Dial. Host Renaldo McKenzie and Co-Host, Donte Nelson will explore this and several other videos involving police brutality. The videos contain graphic language and violence. Viewer discretion is advised. On this powerful and dynamic episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast, Renaldo and Donte provide insightful commentaries on the constant and sore issue of police brutality and question whether promises of reform were just a means to pacify the BLM. 

The Police are still not wearing body cams, still killing black men in certain communities and lying about it, while still benefitting from the protection of their unions and politicians even after the protests stemming from the Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tyre Nichols, and countless other police killings, and the promises of change and reform. Still, police continue to abuse their power and violently kill black, brown, and Latino men in certain communities then retreat to their unions and the system for protection which applies a slap on the wrist. 

It is no wonder that Police continue to gun down certain people in diverse communities. The latest killing of Eddie Irizarry was more telling and Mark Dial, the Police Officer who fatally Irizarry, was even more telling of the police's constant brutality and how they are still supported by their unions and the system. He had initially lied that Irizarry had lunged at him with a knife and refused to participate in the investigation. When the body cam video was released showing that Irizarry was in his car when Dial quickly attacked with gun drawn and fired six times killing Irizarry, he turned himself in and was only given a $50, 000.00 bail and his union released a statement that they were still behind Dial. Dial's attorney reported that Dial was legally justified as he was in fear for his life. 

This is farfetched as there is no evidence of this, except the video showing the opposite of Dial's initial lie that Irizarry had attacked him. The podcast was a discussion of a post in The NeoLiberal Post by Renaldo McKenzie entitled: "When Police Serve and Protect, Becomes Lie and Betray" highlighting in various police killings how they use sly arguments, loopholes, and the system to continue to brutalize or to escape responsibility and accountability in their excesses. https://renaldocmckenzie.com/2023/09/... 

The Podcast discussed another police killing in New Castle Delaware where a 28-year-old was shot and killed by police after a deadly chase. The police had a press conference but provided a convoluted and conflicted story and would not take questions from reporters. They conveniently do not have body cam video and demonize the victim by calling him a fugitive as if he is not innocent until proven guilty by a court of law, not by police. 

The podcast reminded us of the Tyre Nichols beating by Police leading to his death and the constant call for all police to wear body cams that work in the execution of their duties. Further, the podcast explores whether police unions should get involved in police excesses and killings since police officers are charged with serving protecting, and upholding the law and that is in question involving those they are charged to serve and protect, police should have the protection of their unions. 

Finally, the podcast shows how the legal system and legislature continue to preach reform while accommodating police flagrant adjustment of the reform requirement to wear body cam and the application of $50,00 bail involving police killings. 

This is a must-see or listened-to podcast episode with background music, embedded videos, and artistic images interspersed throughout for a dynamic listening and watching experience.

Zelenskyy: It’s Day 18. We Hold Key Positions. Close The Skies. We’re Going Through The Worst Odeal.

By

In summary, President Zelenskyy said: It’s day 18. We hold key defensive positions. Close the Ukrainian Airspace before it gets worse; Russian bombs have already neared NATO’s borders (within 20 miles).  Negotiations are actively underway between Russia and Ukraine and this has led to the more than 10 corridors that are opened today so that  over 5550 refugees were able to securely leave Kyiv, Kharkiv, Melitopol, Donbas and other regions safely except for Mariupol which remains blocked by Russian troops. They are working on getting that reopened. He visited the wounded and handed out medals today and spoke with several European leaders who assured continued support and shared concerns about the wider implications of Putin’s goals and Russia’s invasion is closing in on their (EU’s) borders. He ended by saying: We are going through the worst ordeal in our history and in our lives to protect the most precious thing we have. We must hold on. We must fight. And we will win...

Police Reform in #America Must include Rebranding the Police ...Change their “LOOK”

By
#PoliceReform Must also include rebranding the #PoliceForce; changing their anti friendly countenance, stance, color,  clothes and updating their car. Their “LOOK” needs to become more customer or #CommunityService Friendly. Moral Authority is a currency that has lost value for Law Enforcement and when a currency looses its value it must change, the state must intervene just as the Federal Reserve Bank intervenes to protect its monetary value of its currency in this case the state needs to constantly intervene in the currency of its law enforcement. But this has never been the case. #Democrats and #Republicans are all guilty of their indifference and soft approach to dealing with and restoring  the credibility of the police. States always seem to fail to act or are too slow to protect the integrity of its people and the currency of its police due to political and ideological differences that has nothing to do with building a strong #Policdforce for all people. A force that ser...

What is the “Ultimate” of All Things? By Renaldo McKenzie

By
What is the ultimate of all things? That we become one with reality and with humanity in all of our individuality. A man said “Once you label me, you negate me” (Kierkegaard). I ndeed,  culture of categories, groups and labels minimize, mitigate and or manage change.  Change is not possible when the people are divided. This “Divide” put people against each other. So that, those in “Power” can remain... panning to their “divide” in effect forming a shield of defense that protect their resolve against those on the other side of the “divide”.  Thereby, solidifying their Power and perpetuating the issues that bind and create strife. Indeed, Power uses whatever tools available to it to get what it wants and to maintain, at the unsuspecting “laymen” who are tricked in putting their membership in a group over their membersip of humanity; and shouldn’t this be a crime to put our group over the whole. For isn’t it the ultimate of all things that we are “One” so that none is above ...
