Summary

While the most riotous moments of the George Floyd Uprising have past, in parts of the country renewed attention to police tyranny continues to lead to clashes. LA Podcast co-host Scott Frazier joins us to talk about the struggle in Los Angeles, specifically against its massive Sheriff's Dept (LASD) now in the spotlight for horrific acts of violence following the discovery of Robert Fuller, a black man dead from hanging, in Palmdale California.

After immediately ruling the death a suicide with no evidence, LASD killed Fuller's half brother Terron Boone. And last week they inexplicably killed 18 year old Andres Guardado, a security guard working out of their jurisdiction. Then they removed the cameras.

We talk about the history of LASD and the broader context of riots and political struggle and racism in Los Angeles. We also tell some fun LA Stories!

0:36.0	Morning everybody.
0:37.0	Thanks for being with us.
0:39.0	L.A. Podcasts is one of my, I don't know, top five podcast, which is one of my I don't know top five podcast which is kind of strange because I have
0:47.8	only been to LA twice pretty briefly and I just started listening to it
0:53.3	because I was a fan of Hollywood Handbook,
0:55.7	which is a very stupid like that satire

1:01.5	and I just needed more H-H-avenport in my life and so I started listening to
1:06.3	LA Podcast just to see what it was all about and pretty quickly I got sucked into this
1:17.6	Cartoonish like cinematic noir world of hilariously corrupt LA politicians but also like just intriguing questions about urban design and transportation and
