Ep.5: Re: Missouri, Valid Fears

from Reconnaissance · host Asa Mendelsohn and Fred Schmidt-Arenales

Talking with Oath Keeper and Police Academy Instructor John Karriman challenged us. Re: Missouri, Valid Fears is our first attempt at debriefing and following up. We spoke with Sam Andrews on the phone after he listened to an edit of our interview with Karriman. Andrews is an independent arms contractor in Eureka, Missouri. During the protests in November 2014 and August 2015, he was among the Oath Keepers who went to Ferguson. Andrews became increasingly critical of the ways that Oath Keepers were approaching Black Lives Matter activists and the politics underlying their presence in Ferguson. He spoke out and has since alienated himself from the group. He spoke to us about how and why.
