Summary
1.17.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Biden Commutes 2500, TSU Band Director Investigated, DOJ Finds LA State Police Violates Civil Rights
In his final days in office, President Biden commuted the sentences of nearly 2,500 individuals convicted of nonviolent drug offenses.
Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered ratified but will not take any action on the matter in his final days in office.
A civil rights investigation has found a pattern of excessive force by the Louisiana State Police. Instead of addressing these issues, the state's MAGA governor is defending the police agency involved in the death of Black motorist Ronald Greene.
Tennessee State University's Grammy Award-winning band director is under investigation following a recent audit of the school's finances.
And the Federal Trade Commission is suing PepsiCo for allegedly giving an unnamed big box retailer more favorable prices than its competitors.
