Ep. 13: The IFB connection to the killing of Breonna Taylor
In this episode, Sadie and Gavri'el contextualize the new revelation that Johnathan Mattingly, one of the police officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor, was an IFB member. Disclaimer: We are not experts on police procedure, we are not experts on criminal law. Keep this in mind when listening to this episode. Additionally, some of what we talk about is either conjecture or speculation. It is based on cultural observations that we feel adequately qualified to make based on Sadie's experience and upbringing within the IFB. We are not here to argue the facts of this case. We are here to talk about the consequences of IFB culture overlapping with Police Departments.Subscribe to our Patreon for extended episodes! https://www.patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcastJoin our Facebook Discussion group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodusInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/leavingedenpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/sadiecarpentermusic/ https://www.instagram.com/gavrielhacohen/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LeavingEdenPod https://twitter.com/HellYeahSadie https://twitter.com/GavrielHacohen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LeavingEdenPodcast https://www.facebook.com/GavrielHaCohen--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/leavingedenpodcast/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/leavingedenpodcast/supportSubscribe to Leaving Eden Podcast on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4q94gAnsoW2jME4SvVrrQJoin our Patreon for extended, uncensored, and ad-free versions of most of our episodes, as well as other patron perks and bonus content!https://www.patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcastJoin our Facebook group to join in the discussion with other fans!https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodusJoin our subreddit!
