Independent journalist Sam Richards joins Joey once again to tell him about his investigation into the suicide of Minneapolis, MN city worker Al Ditty.
Al Ditty was a whistleblower who attempted to remain anonymous when emailing Twin Cities area news station Kare 11 about the dangers of a plan the Minneapolis Police had to bust up a protest encampment.
Al Ditty's identity was exposed when a memeber of the Kare 11 news team forwarded the email to her friend in the Minneapolis Police.
