Mark Koernke discussed police brutality and misconduct, focusing on the Eric Garner case in New York where police blamed his obesity and asthma for his death by strangulation. He compared this to other cases of police violence including the shooting of a 12-year-old with a toy gun in Cleveland and historical incidents like the beating of a homeless man in California. Koernke criticized police inaction in rendering aid, the militarization of police forces, and what he characterized as systemic abuse. He took calls from listeners in Texas and elsewhere discussing police accountability, gun rights, and social engineering. The show included discussion of an ATF tip line (1-800-ATF-GUNS) and the need for citizens to report misconduct.
