(Stacey Bennett)

From Republican support for Alligator Alcatraz to growing outrage over a viral traffic stop video, our Friday media roundtable dives into the biggest stories of the week. Among our topics:

• The community, sheriff and governor respond to growing outrage over a viral video, even as the motorist punched by a police officer announces plans to sue. 
• Florida Republicans favor Donald Trump, Alligator Alcatraz and eliminating property taxes, according to a new University of North Florida poll. 

To talk about all that and more, we’re joined by our panel of journalists:

• Will Brown, race and poverty reporter at Jacksonville Today.
• Frank Powers, former assignment manager at WJXT News4Jax.
• Tricia Booker, author and journalism professor at the University of North Florida.
• Obi Umunna, attorney and political consultant. 

Then, at a time of increased need, we discuss ways you can support public media and maximize your donation with a dollar-for-dollar match. Please call (904) 353-9528 or visit wjct.org/sustain to support First Coast Connect and all the programming offered at WJCT Public Media.
