Hello, this is Alonzo Bowden, and I want to welcome you to episode 318 of my podcast.

Who's paying attention?

You guys are, and I appreciate it.

Wow, another week.

Before I got my dog, before I got the Hulk, a friend who's a dog trainer and has dogs and horses told me that once you get a dog, you tend to like them more than humans.

I don't know if that's true yet, but I will say I absolutely understand she she joked that her daughter

noticed that she has 300 pictures of her dogs and horses and five pictures of her kids so

this is how this is where we're at. There are so many stories this week of cops shooting and killing people and mass shootings going on. You know, it's post-pandemic, right? We're back. So many that the Derek Chavon trial,

the trial of the cop who killed George Floyd was actually pushed off at the front page of the

news. It's not in the top three cop stories this week. Think about that. The man we watched murder George Floyd,

his trial, not even in the top three stories this week. That's how much it continues. That's how

little we progress. That's how big the denial is that we have a incredible problem with policing.

It is not a few bad apples. It is the policy of police departments across this country.

And yeah, I'll get into it. But, but, you know, we, we had a mass shooting last night. I'm

recording this on Friday to 16th. So last night in Indianapolis at a FedEx, eight people were shot.

We don't even know the details of that story yet. Don't even know what happened there. Just another mass

shooting. And that is Indianapolis's third in three months. There were four people killed

with a family fighting over a stimulus check. And then there was another shooting where five people

were killed. And now this this one eight people shot it's

you know again the the horror of these things you know you go to work right you work at fedex

you you work at night you i don't know sort packages get them ready for delivery, you know, whatever.

All you did was go to work.
