Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.

The fatal police shootings of Philando Castile, near St. Paul, Minnesota, and Alton Sterling, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana followed by the killing of five police officers and wounding of many more by a sniper in Dallas highlights the mistrust and animosity between African American communities and the police nationwide. How does the war on drugs, inequalities in the justice system and the burgeoning prison industrial complex play into those animosities? Is the President to blame, how about training of police officers or Black Lives Matters? Listen in and call in with your comments and questions.
