Description

On a fall afternoon in 1984, Dethorne Graham ran into a convenience store for a bottle of orange juice. Minutes later he was unconscious, injured, and in police handcuffs. In this episode, we explore a case that sent two Charlotte lawyers on a quest for true objectivity, and changed the face of policing in the US.

what would you do if someone was running at you and a tazer didn't stop him? and you didn't know if he had a weapon?

hands up don't shoot was based on a lie, and I have sneaking suspicion that mr. graham's case may've been as well.

Everytime Elie Mystal speaks on this show, I lose more and more respect for it. We dont listen to this show for one man's idiotic knee jerk, emotional reactions. In both this episode and thw hate debate I think he absolutely embarrasses himself and it makes me doubt anything said on this show when he is such a prominent contributor.
