On the night of Sept 6, 2018, Botham Jean was sitting in his apartment in Dallas when an off duty police office, Amber Guyger, opened his door, fired her weapon, and killed him. The story of what happened that night has been told, changed, retold, then changed again. In addition to the changing story we’ve also seen an attempted smear campaign by Fox and its affiliates. We’ve heard of noise complaints, shouting, and have learned the physics behind the doors in that apartment complex. What’s real and what’s not? In this episode of Be Conscious, Damien Barling attempts to separate fact from fiction while discussing the role that “blue” played in this case of black and white.

The Fact and Fiction of What Happened to Botham Jean

Six days ago Colin Kaepernick's attorney's announced that Kaepernick and Eric Reid had reached an agreement with the NFL to dismiss their grievance and lawsuit that claims collusion amongst the owners and league personal to keep the two from being employed by a team. As part of the agreement, no details will be given on what the actual settlement is. Thats let supporters on each side wonders if their side won. Was this a victory for Kaep? For the NFL? Was this the wrong move for the cause? And why, after two years, are the facts surrounding Kaepernick's employment, and lack there of, still so often wrong. This weeks episode takes a look at the defying moment for Colin Kaepernick and a moment in NFL history they'll attempt to quickly erase.

Where Ya Been? Where We Going? How'd We Get Here?

A special early holiday edition of Be Conscious. Camara Williams, an attorney in Florida, and guest columnist for the Orlando Sentinel, joins me to discuss the mid-terms in Florida, why Andrew Gillum lost and how big of a factor race was in the campaigns. We discuss the parallels between what happened in Florida, what happened in Georgia, and which one of these states got away with stealing the election. Camara gives his thoughts on the electoral college, the voting system as a whole, and what these mid-terms may mean for Donald Trump in 2020.
