KD ties together several recent crime stories--from a homicide trial in his town to the police shootings in Ferguson and NY ... to the rash of alleged gun-suicides by handcuffed black men in the back seat of police cars ... to the surprising indictment of coal mine executive Donald Blankenship.

Includes commentary by GLEN FORD and a song by ANNE FEENEY.
With an update from December 2016. Most of this program was previously broadcast, as NWN #353, in December 2014.
