REMASTERED Audio from 1st episode. We apologize for the quality due to this being a Zoom interview. Thanks for your support!

During the Part 1 premiere of The Black Republik Podcast, we speak with Civil Rights Trial Attorney John Sweeney. Sweeney has been an attorney for over 30 years and has represented a number of high profile clients- particularly victims of police brutality and murder. Sweeney was responsible for getting LA County Sheriff’s Deputy Samuel Aldama to admit that he was a member of the Sheriff’s Gang “Executioners” and got him to show his tattoo signifying his admittance into the gang. This sparked a nationwide outrage that was recently reignited with the murder of Andres Guardado, who was killed by a Compton Sheriff’s Deputy. We’ll talk with Sweeney about the LASD Sheriff gangs, police brutality, his role in getting justice for victims, and what we can do to make a difference. This is surely a premiere you do not want to miss.
