Santa Monica Policing in the National Spotlight Last week, Santa Monica resident Fay Wells wrote an opinion column for the Washington Post, headlined, "My white neighbor thought I was breaking into my own apartment. Nineteen cops showed up." This happened after a neighbor called to report a suspicious male with a suitcase trying to get into a nearby apartment. It turned out that Wells had lost her key and called a locksmith to help open her door. The story went viral on social media, and the incident has been covered by the LA Times and other newspapers. Santa Monica police and other city officials declined to come on our program. But they released a tape of the incident more than 40 minutes long.

Ex-FBI Director Comey tells his side of the story Today, former FBI Director James Comey came close to calling the President who fired him a liar. The White House denied the claim and called it insulting, but Republican Senators did not challenge Comey’s truthfulness. Many questions remain: did the President try to obstruct a federal investigation? Later, we’ll go behind the “velvet rope” for a look at 5-Star health care for the richest Americans.

Human Rights in the era of Donald Trump President Trump’s UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley, said today the US might pull out of the United Nations’ Human Rights Council. Serious violators of human rights are members of the Council itself–and a US resignation could make things worse. Later on today’s show, now that he’s into his second term, comedian turned US Senator Al Franken is telling jokes again.
