12.21.2021 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Biden's Covid Plan, Dems special caucus, LA judge suspended, Potter Verdict Watch

It's Tuesday, December 21, 2021. Here's what's coming Up on Roland Martin Unfiltered streaming live on the Black Star Network.

Senate Democrats are busy trying to find a way to pass legislation before the new year. And West Virginia coal miners want their Senator to support the Build Back Better Plan. But why now? The Tri-Chair of the West Virginia chapter of the Poor People's Campaign says they have been trying to get the coal miners union on board for months. She'll be here to tell us why she thinks they are on the bandwagon now. 

Plus, President Biden outlines his plan to expand Covid testing sites and deploy federal resources to help strained hospitals. We'll talk to a doctor to see if his plan will be enough to slow down the omicron variant's fresh wave of infections. 

Remember that white Louisiana judge who was caught on tape using the N-word? Well, she's been suspended and replaced by a black judge, and the New Orleans District Attorney wants to review all of her cases from the 1990s.

We are still on verdict watch in the trial of the white Minnesota officer who killed Daunte Wright. 

A California cop is acquitted even though his crime was caught on tape!

And in our Marketplace segment sponsored by Verizon, a Houston restaurateur shares his secret to succeed in the midst of a pandemic.
