Hero or Threat? The Jemel Roberson Story They Don't Want You to Know | Graham Elwood

An investigative commentary on police brutality, systemic racism, and the urgent need for gun reform hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Prompted by an article submission from Patreon supporter Lauren D'Allesandro, Graham covers the tragic fatal shooting of 26-year-old Jemel Roberson, an armed security guard who heroically apprehended an active shooter at Manny’s Blue Room Bar in Robbins, Illinois, only to be fatally shot by responding Midlothian police officers despite witnesses warning police that he was security. Graham examines the "shoot first, ask questions later" policing culture, police training failures, untreated trauma among officers, and the nationwide epidemic of gun violence.
