UAW members on a recent strike in Flint, Michigan

Ernesto Arce and the South Central Third World News explores the city of Los Angeles’ crime data and how law enforcement agencies are using it to push for more policing budgets. Plus, the ongoing tragedy of police brutality especially when it joins forces with its corporate partners as was put on display last week during a police killing of an elderly disabled man at a Walmart in Arizona. Also, hunger and starvation across Latin America and the Caribbean increases to catastrophic levels.

Also, we’ll hear Nina Simone’s rendition of “I wish that I knew how it would feel to be free”
