S1E2 - "The Detail" with Tim Tolka, author of Blue Mafia

(Audio fixed, if there's an audio gap in the intro, re-download the episode) Today my guest is Tim Tolka, author of Blue Mafia, which is best described by the closing line of the first chapter: “This is the story of two police departments, their turbulent relationship with the local community, and how a 'crazy' lawyer risked everything to bring in a higher authority.” Blue Mafia has many lessons for other cities in Ohio and across the nation. It is also a harrowing tale of how the gears of our legal and civic machinery can chew up activists, lawyers, and victims of police violence. https://timtolka.com/ https://twitter.com/TimTolka https://twitter.com/BlueMafiaBook ********* Brian "BZ" Douglas is an independent movement journalist and podcast producer. All work is 100% reader/viewer supported.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bzdug Newsletter: https://bzdouglas.substack.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/bzdug Podcast: "BZ Listening" on all the podthings
