The Coroner's Silence: How the State Uses Death Records to Hide Police Violence w/ Prof. Terence Keel (G&R 469)

from Green & Red: Podcasts for Scrappy Radicals · host Green and Red

Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they’ve sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd’s and Sandra Bland’s, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. Professor Terence Keel's new book, "The Coroner’s Silence" reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. ​In our latest, we talk with Prof. Keel about the complicity and silence of coroners in the police and in-custody deaths. Bio//Dr. Terence Keel (@TerenceKeel) a professor of human biology, society and African American studies at UCLA. His latest book is The Coroner’s Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence.-------------------------🎸 Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody🔗 Links🌐 Terence Keel: https://www.terencekeel.com/ 🔖 The Coroner's Silence (https://bit.ly/46nlwH9)🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/uuP6yVQr📰 Follow us on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com🌌 Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Scott🔔 Subscribe for more analysis on U.S. politics, leftist strategy, and anti-establishment resistance.
