Several cases of overzealous prosecution of protesters in Phoenix have been presented in several recent news reports, most notably by Dave Biscobing of ABC15. (I highly recommend you take a look at several of these riveting reports at this link.)
This week’s Think Tank guests:
• Biscobing is an Emmy-award winning investigative reporter who has been doing a series of disturbing reports on how protesters have been selectively prosecuted by Phoenix police and Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.
• Tom Ryan is a local attorney who has been involved in numerous legal actions involving official misconduct, though none of those specifically reported on by Biscobing.
• Darrell Hill is policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona. He is also a nonpracticing attorney.
This week’s Think Tank discusses these cases as well as several proposed pieces of legislation that could have a chilling effect on the right of citizens to peacefully protest police actions in Arizona.
The Think Tank airs on KTAR 92.3 FM on Saturday 3-4 p.m. and Sunday 9-10 p.m.
Podcasts are available after broadcast.
