Some of the weapons of those in power and control

A white US policeman shot dead a black man in the back in North Charleston, South Carolina. An amateur video of the shooting shows how the killing was perpetrated.

On Good Friday Anthony Ray Hinton was released from death row having spent 30 years in jail for a murder he did not commit.

The famed US lawyer Bryan Stevenson fought his case.

The blessings of modern technology. Putting trust in the agencies of power and authority?

The right-wing  US radio station  Patriot Radio  has made no reference either to the alleged police murder or the freeing of the innocent man.

Another reminder to cherish an independent and free press.
