You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

well, there's nothing you can't ask on the savage love cast you would think at this moment during the trial of

Derek Chauvin he's the cop who murdered George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for nine minutes in

Minneapolis you would think at this moment cops all over the country would be airing on the side of not pulling black men over for having air fresheners hanging from their rearview mirrors.

And then, you know, accidentally mixing up your taser with your service revolver and killing them and erring on the side of not summarily executing 13 year old boys for running away from them.

You might think that, but you'd be wrong because no group is more committed, it seems,

to making the case for defunding the police than the police themselves.

As I sat down to record this morning, I thought, a verdict is going to be in at any minute.

I should check.

It's not. No verdict yet.

I am praying. The jury returns a guilty verdict. And I'm praying. And that's rare for me because I'm not a

praying man, but I am making an exception here. I am praying that the cracks we all saw in this trial,

in the blue wall of silence, cops testifying against a cop, I am praying that those

cracks widen and grow and the wall of blue silence collapses. And then while I was online, I thought

maybe I should check to see if there's been another mass shooting since the last mass shooting,

which was 10 minutes ago. We were all also anxious to return to normal after more than a year of rolling COVID lockdowns.

And here we are, the new normal, same as the old normal.

Well, our normal, our national normal, our national sickness, guns and gun fetishists and gun violence.

Joe Biden said it best.

This has to end.

It's a national embarrassment.
