I’ll be on KBOO radio’s “Old Mole Variety Hour” on Monday, October 25th. Bill Resnick will be interviewing me about the culture of police impunity, and in particular the new evidence of cover-ups in the James Chasse and Captain Mark Kruger cases. People in the Portland area can listen on 90.7 fm. Those out of town can find it archived on the KBOO website, though it may take a few days to show up there.
Update: We didn’t actually have time to talk about Kruger, but the interview about the Chasse case is on the KBOO web site.
I’ll also be giving a talk in Portland, on Thursday, November 4, from 7-9pm, at Sisters of the Road Cafe (133 NW 6th Avenue). Local historian Michael Munk will discuss the history of Portland’s “Red Squad,” and I will talk more broadly about the cops’ role in preserving inequality. The event is sponsored by Oregon Jericho.
Humboldt Grassroots issue 3 includes an article titled “Not An Isolated Event,” which draws heavily from an interview I gave with Street Roots years and years ago.
And, I’ll be speaking at the Humboldt Anarchist Book Fair on December 11. (More details to come.)
