On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>, updates, racism, lies, voting rights and video tape. [Audio link posted below.<\/i>]\n

We’ve got several updates on the situation in Charlotte, NC following the police killing of Keith Lamont Scott, including the release of an eyewitness video of the shooting said to be from his wife’s cellphone. While the tape is heart-wrenching in and of itself, it also appears<\/i> to show something that looks<\/em> like a gun seemingly appearing from out of nowhere on the ground next to the victim’s body. As noted on the show, I’m not sure what to make of this. It could somehow be a trick of light, shadows, editing, camera angle or…it might not be a gun at all. Others (NBC’s Joy Reid<\/a>, Rolling Stone’s Tim Dickinson<\/a>) seemed to be wondering about it as well.<\/p>\n

See it for yourself in both the New York Times<\/i> version of the video as well as the NBC News version. (Enlarge the videos and watch the ground to the right of the body, just next to one of the cop’s feet from appx 1:43 to 1:44 in the NBC version<\/a> and appx 2:01 to 2:02 in the NYTimes version<\/a>. The NBC version is a bit easier to see, since they have crop\/zoomed-in the cellphone framing a bit.) Strange. No real comment. So, I’ll just leave that here for now. (But, yes, police do get caught planting guns<\/a> and falsifying police reports<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Also today, more blatant and rather jaw-dropping racist statements from the (now former) Trump campaign chair<\/i> in Mahoning County, OH, Republican U.S. Congressman Robert Pittenger<\/a> (who represents Charlotte!) and, of course, from Trump<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n

Then, in advance of Monday’s Presidential debate, a new non-partisan analysis<\/a> finds the GOP nominee’s proposed elimination of ObamaCare and replacement healthcare plan would result in 20 million Americans losing health coverage. We also review his repeated lie that he opposed the Obama\/Clinton actions to intervene in Libya and take out Qaddafi (with audio from 2011<\/a> in which he declares the opposite in no uncertain terms.)<\/p>\n

Next, troubling e-voting and hacking news and new court rulings and cases concerning voter suppression in the states of Ohio<\/a>, Georgia<\/a> and Texas<\/a>. Finally, Desi Doyen joins us for an important Green News Report<\/i><\/a>, as well as some disturbing, recently unearthed remarks<\/a> from Libertarian Presidential nominee Gary Johnson concerning global warming…<\/p>\n
