On April 12, Mitchell Crooks joined me via telephone from Las Vegas on the Indynewswire show on Free Radio Santa Cruz to talk about Police. The audio interview opens with a song from Desert Rat called I Really Like the Cops and features Fuck Police Brutality by Anti-Flag at 26 minutes into the interview. (more Anti-Flag music)

Our discussion begins by looking back on July 6, 2002 when Mitchell was in a hotel room in Inglewood, California transferring video footage of his vacation. Mitchell then heard a women scream at the top of her lungs.

Mitchell grabbed his video camera and started video taping.

This interview includes Mitchell's feelings on:

• the Donovan Jackson case
• his famous video tape and dealing with the corporate media
• police state payback - 23 hours a day in lock-down
• harassment in Las Vegas
• and looking to the future
