WEBVTT - Introducing Radical

0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Last year, I read a letter that I don't think

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>was ever meant to go public. It said that a

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>man convicted of shooting sheriff's deputies and killing one of

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:16.080
<v Speaker 1>them was innocent. He's a legendary man, a man who

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>over the last century in America has been called a prophet,

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>a messiah, a terrorist, and a villain. In the sixties,

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>he was a black power activist named h Rap Brown.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>We did not make the laws in this country. We

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>are neither Marley not legally confined to those laws. Those

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 1>laws that keep them up keep us down. H Rap

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>Brown had the attention of the most powerful people in America,

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>oh lice departments, the United States government, and their agents.

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 1>They hated rat Brown all the way to death. But

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>unlike some other black leaders at the time, he managed

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to survive, and he converted to Islam, changed his name

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to Jamille Alamine, and moved my hometown Atlanta, Georgia. On

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the ninth of March sixteenth, two thousand, two deputies showed

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>up outside his neighborhood mosque and there was a shootout.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>It was almost like an overkill, like it was a

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>war zone. That book killed one deputy and severely injured another.

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Please don't shoot me now, Mary, don't shoot me. No, Marr,

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>don't shoot me, no No. Federal agents chase down their

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>only serious suspect, Jamil Lamine, and he was convicted, but

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the evidence was shaky and the whole truth never came

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>out during the trial. To say that this gud is

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the gud who fired this book is very, very difficult.

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>My name is Mosey's Secret. I'm an investigative journalist, and

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>when I started looking into the case, I discovered something

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>even more sinister than the shooting of two deputies. The FBI,

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a trap brown, Jamil Lamine, local drug dealers, and even

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>an alleged serial killer all caught up in it. Tell

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.559
<v Speaker 1>me he got the kid, he gonna star some beef

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and it ain't gonna be he gonna make up or

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>read and kill the mother fluck. And they learned that

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>for years, someone else, not Jamille Allami, has been confessing

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to shooting the two deputies that night outside the mosque.

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I've got a way quit murder for real. They convicted

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the wrong guy and sit the wrong guy to prison

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:29.239
<v Speaker 1>for life for something that another guy did. From Campsite Media,

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Tenderfoot TV, and iHeart Podcasts a new podcast called Radical

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that tells the story of violence and the struggle for

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>power in America.
