Everything is Awful (Episode 85)

1 hour 15 minutes

October has already been the longest month in awhile, and we’re only a week in! Join us as our favorite corrupt Alabama sheriff is back in the news, a Maryland police sergeant is arrested at a strip club and then promptly beaten, and a Texas police department confiscating an activist’s political sign out of her own yard because they found it offensive.

The next #Law140 on evidence should be out later this week! Until then, make sure to check out our page on Patreon for exclusive patron-only content! Then join the conversation by following @fsckemall on Twitter, and tweet us your comments and questions using the hashtag #fsck!
