Summary

on the one year anniversary of the non-indictment over the murder of Eric Garner, we speak to his mother Gwen Carr. Though the NYPD's murder of Eric Garner by chokehold was captured on video and his death ruled a homicide by medical examiners, a grand jury decided to not even indict the policeman (or men) responsible. We talk about Garner's life and his death, and how it turned Carr into an activist. Gwen also explains what justice means for her and her thoughts on the recent killing of Laquan McDonald. We also speak to MSNBC reporter Irin Carmon about the Planned Parenthood shooting and her new book on Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Notorious RBG.
