An Irishman Abroad

In this week's podcast, Jarlath Regan and Marion McKeone discuss the fall out after the killing of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee. The Business Post Washington Correspondent discusses parallels of the funeral of Dr Martin Luther King and the life of the innocent young man who was brutally beaten and later died in hospital. The pair discuss police brutality in America and what will happen in the future, especially to specialised units of non-uniformed police teams. They talk about the origins and true meaning behind the "Defund the Police" movement. Marion discusses Al Sharpton’s eulogy and her interview with him 20 years prior after a young man had been shot outside his home in the Bronx. Marion gives a breakdown of Biden’s federal judge appointees and the impact that the new diversity could have on future police shootings in America.
