This is why NPR and All The Media Companies involved exist. They know who did it and I hope justice will come. Thank you for this series. You all make me proud. I am so moved.
I am appreciative of the work this team did to uncover that which a local PD wanted to keep hidden. This is an exceptional doc about the unbearable loss of life of a 16 year old who tried to protest what he believed was injustice. I am glad I listened but wish the death of Antonio Mays Jr. had not happened.
Not just a thrilling investigation into a mysterious death, but also a thought-provoking look at what goes wrong when people have convinced themselves beyond any doubt that they are the good guys.
Years in the making, We Keep Us Safe should be required listening everywhere.
Meticulously researched, written and brought to life by reporters Sydney Q Brownstone, Will James and David Gutman (and the team behind them) this is podcasting at its finest and most worthy.
Me neither.
