Oftentimes, when a crime occurs, the narrative originates from the police. That narrative is then spread through the media to influence public opinion which can expedite justice… but more often fuels falsehoods. In this episode, we break down the role the media played in Warren’s case and question the relationship between media and police. We hear from actor and activist Kenderick Sampson, who shares his experience reshaping narratives around safety and policing in Hollywood. 

This podcast includes graphic discussion of a violent death. Listener discretion is advised.
