Episode Seven: Dirty Information

The audio from the Collateral Damage Podcast episode discussing Alberta Spruill's death in a drug raid, and other cases of police misconduct, is included in the transcript.

Additionally, there are references to various organizations and individuals involved in the discussion, including:

* Families United 4 Justice
* The Intercept
* The City Council
* The International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence Against People of African Descent in the United States
* WNYC archive
* Peter Beck for research assistance

There is also a mention of a grant from the Vital Projects Fund that made the podcast possible.

The transcript concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to join the conversation on Twitter and to support independent journalism.
 
I'm not sure I agree that this transcript should be out in the open ๐Ÿค”... don't get me wrong, it's super important to hold police accountable for misconduct, but at the same time, shouldn't some of this info just stay behind closed doors? Like, what if it really is a personal family thing and they need some space? And yet, I know we're living in a world where transparency is key, especially when there are grants involved... like, that Vital Projects Fund grant is legit cool ๐Ÿ’ธ.
 
just heard about this podcast episode and its crazy how much misinformation was spread around police misconduct cases i remember those days when people were protesting against it in 2016 but now its like we're getting closer to the truth ๐Ÿค” and its good that organizations are supporting independent journalists like wnyc archive and vital projects fund they should get more funding tho
 
OMG u guys!! ๐Ÿคฏ The Collateral Damage Podcast just dropped an episode thats SO IMPORTANT!!! They were talkin about Alberta Spruill's death in that wild drug raid and its like... how can this still be happenin?! ๐Ÿ™„ The police doin everythin they can 2 cover their tracks but people r speakin out now! I love dat Families United 4 Justice is involved cuz they been fightin 4 justice 4 a looong time. We gotta keep pushin 4 accountability from our pols. ๐Ÿค
 
I'm so glad we've finally got more info out about these cases... I mean, who doesn't love a good police scandal ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ? Anyway, it's super interesting that they brought in some legit orgs like Families United 4 Justice and The Intercept to back up the claims. I'm not surprised though, those guys are always on top of their game ๐Ÿ‘. And oh great, another grant from the Vital Projects Fund... because what we really need is more funding for journalism ๐Ÿค‘. Kudos to Peter Beck for his research skills tho, gotta love a good fact-checker ๐Ÿ’ฏ. Anyway, can't wait to hear what people have to say about this on Twitter... maybe we'll finally get some real change happening ๐Ÿ”ฅ?
 
I'm not sure what's more concerning - that an entire podcast episode was released as a transcript or that it took a whole podcast to get some police reform attention. What's really needed is concrete change in how these cases are handled, you know? Just having the facts out there isn't enough, we need tangible action taken by our elected officials ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก
 
omg can u believe these cops are still getting away with this stuff?? i mean colltional damage podcast is doing some serious investigative journalism here and its about time someone held these institutions accountable

i love how they're referencing all these orgs that have been sounding the alarm on police brutality for years. familes united 4 justice has been a major voice in the fight against systemic racism and it's awesome to see them being amplified by podcasts like this

and btw who cares about grants from Vital Projects Fund?? its not about the money, its about getting these truths out there so we can actually do something about it ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ’ธ
 
I'm so over this whole police misconduct thing ๐Ÿ™„. I mean, what's next? Are we gonna start blaming the cops for everything? It seems like every time there's a bad apple, the entire basket is being torn apart. These families are fighting for justice, but all we're seeing is division and finger-pointing. Can't we just focus on making things better instead of dwelling on past mistakes? And what about these organizations that are supposedly helping? I'm not buying it - they're probably just trying to make a name for themselves. We need to support the real change-makers, not just the ones with fancy titles and grants ๐Ÿค‘
 
๐Ÿค” I'm still trying to wrap my head around this podcast episode... it's like, what can we even say? Police misconduct is a huge issue and it's crazy that there are still people who get hurt or killed because of it ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’”. The fact that families like Alberta Spruill's are still fighting for justice is just heartbreaking ๐Ÿค•.

I think the City Council needs to do more than just mention organizations like Families United 4 Justice - they need to take concrete steps to address this problem ๐Ÿ’ช. And can we talk about how cool it is that there are people like Peter Beck doing research and helping make a difference?๐ŸŽฏ

Anyway, I'm all for calling out police misconduct and supporting independent journalism ๐Ÿ“ฐ๐Ÿ’ฌ. It's time we start having a real conversation about systemic change ๐Ÿ”„. Let's keep the momentum going and keep pushing for justice ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ช
 
I'm seeing some serious discrepancies here. According to what I've dug up, Alberta Spruill's death in a drug raid was actually ruled as an accident by the Denver District Attorney's Office back in 2017 ๐Ÿ˜•. It doesn't seem like there's any evidence of police misconduct involved. The Collateral Damage Podcast episode appears to be relying on some unverified sources ๐Ÿค”. I'm also having trouble finding any credible information on the International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence Against People of African Descent in the United States - could they be a legitimate organization?
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around all these high-profile cases of police misconduct ๐Ÿคฏ. It's crazy to think about how some families are still fighting for justice after years of struggling with the system ๐Ÿ’”. I mean, what really gets me is that there are people out there working tirelessly to expose these issues and bring about change, like Alberta Spruill's family and the folks at Families United 4 Justice ๐Ÿ™.

But, honestly, it feels like we've been down this road before ๐Ÿ˜•. Remember when The Intercept first started shining a light on police brutality back in the day? It was like they were saying 'back in my day...' to all these systemic issues that just wouldn't go away ๐Ÿ“ฐ. And now, with the Vital Projects Fund and WNYC archive getting involved, it's like we're finally seeing some real progress ๐ŸŽ‰.

Still, as a nation, we gotta do better โš–๏ธ. We need more people speaking out against police misconduct and demanding accountability ๐Ÿ’ช. If you care about this stuff (and I hope you do), then get on Twitter and start joining the conversation ๐Ÿ”ฅ!
 
๐Ÿ˜” this is so sad its heartbreaking to think about families having to go thru such pain & trauma due to police misconduct ๐Ÿ’” its amazing that ppl like Alberta Spruill were speaking out against systemic racism & injustices but sadly she never got 2 see the change she wanted ๐ŸŒŸ anyways i hope ppl take the call 2 action seriously & keep pushing 4 change ๐Ÿ“ข๐Ÿ’ช
 
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." The government's transparency about police misconduct is crucial for building trust among the public ๐Ÿค
 
just listened to the Collateral Damage Podcast episode about Alberta Spruill's death... really sad to see the audio included in the transcript ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ’” it brings back so many emotions, you know? anyway, I think its awesome that they got some grants like from Vital Projects Fund to make the podcast happen, its not easy making media when you're doing it on your own ๐Ÿค‘ and now they're trying to get people involved with the call to action on Twitter... hope more ppl join the conversation about police misconduct & systemic racism ๐Ÿ’ฌ
 
man I just listened to this podcast about police brutality and it's wild how many times these things happen in the US ๐Ÿคฏ the idea of these grants helping out journalists is pretty cool tho maybe it'll make a difference in some way but you feel me? we need more people like peter beck who are gonna dig deep into this stuff. anyway the families united 4 justice org is doing some solid work too gotta keep an eye on them
 
omg I just listened to that podcast episode ๐Ÿคฏ it's so sad about Alberta Spruill she was like only 19 yrs old ๐Ÿ˜” I feel like we need more people talking about police misconduct and making changes, you know? ๐Ÿค I also wanna support those orgs listed, especially Families United 4 Justice they seem like they're doing some serious work ๐Ÿ’ช has anyone else listened to the podcast? what did u think of it? btw, I just got a new phone and I'm still trying to figure out how to use that Twitter thing ๐Ÿ“ฑ
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing ๐Ÿคฏ. Police misconduct cases like Alberta Spruill's are so heartbreaking & frustrating. It's crazy how some organizations are even tackling these issues head-on ๐Ÿ’ช, but it feels like there's still a long way to go before we see real change ๐Ÿ’”. I'm loving that WNYC archive is involved - their journalism has always been top-notch ๐Ÿ“ฐ. And I'm intrigued by the International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence Against People of African Descent in the US - it sounds like they're doing some heavy lifting to shed light on these systemic problems ๐Ÿ”. What do you guys think we can do as a community to support independent journalism & keep pushing for justice? ๐Ÿค
 
omg just listened to this podcast about police brutality its so sad alberta spruill's story is heartbreaking i feel like these injustices are being ignored for too long we need more people speaking out against systemic racism and demanding change from our leaders ๐Ÿ‘Š families united 4 justice is doing some amazing work too, we need more organizations like them supporting victims of police violence ๐Ÿ˜” what can we do to create real change in our communities? ๐Ÿค”
