Description: It is 30 years since Rodney King was beaten in public within an inch of his life by four police officers while a dozen others stood by. The trial and acquittals of the men involved rocked America and locked sure to produce a complete overhaul of policing and the reporting of brutality. And yet this week, following the conviction of Derek Chauvin for the killing of George Floyd, African Americans are still complaining for change. Today Marion looks at both cases and asks whether actual change will now occur. There’s also news on a new way for Patrons to submit their questions to Marion and be part of the show.   If you have a question for Marion please send it through to irishmanabroadpodcast@gmail.com and Jarlath will do his best to include it in the next episode.   Supplementary research provided by John Meagher.   To hear this episode in full each week and to gain access to the entire back-catalogue of over 400 Irishman Abroad episodes that are not available on iTunes for just the price of a pint every month visit www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.     Our charity partner is jigsawonline.ie.
