Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Monday, July 4th, the crew of Jaws of Justice is going to air The Dialogue News Show #118, Police Reform in the Aftermath of George Floyd. The Dialogue News Show is a weekly radio program produced by News Anchor Barry Barometer on WCAA 107.3 FM, Grand Street Community Radio in Albany, NY. This is a series that looks at community development, public administration, public policy and political science from both a national and local perspective. The lack of racial equity in America is a common theme, and they often emphasize the racial impact of American Democracy on the backs and necks of minorities.

Barry Barometer worked with the PBS Frontline program Police on Trial and added his comments to the George Floyd murder and judgement against Derek Chauvin.
We bring you vital information underserved or ignored by mainstream media. We pride ourselves on digging in and sharing the issues that entertain and inform our listeners by providing a curated, unique and independent voice.
On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society. Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
