WYE in the News - Atlanta Bank "Robbery" and Traffic Quotas
b'
Every now and again your hosts look at the news and think...hmmm...that's weird. As experts in their respective fields it can be odd to read a news story then dig a little deeper to find out what's really going on.
This week MC has scrubbed a few stories to share that really had him wondering what else is going on.
First stop is Atlanta, GA, where Director of Black Panther 2 Ryan Coogler was mistaken for a bank robbery suspect. Maybe "mistaken" isn't the right word, maybe "accused of bank robbery while trying to make a withdrawal at his own bank" is better. However, MC put on his thinking cap (not a motorcycle helmet) and shares his views about the story.
On the heels of that story the guys discuss a new law in Virginia that outlaws traffic ticket quotas. Imagine MC's response when he hears that a thing that isn't a thing is now not a thing because of a law. I know that's hard to understand, but so is this story from Virginia. MC shares his thoughts on quotas and the guys discuss performance evaluations vs quotas and MC's favorite phrase "Speed Trap."
This week we learn:
- How race can be used in the headlines to draw emotional responses from readers
- If Bank of America has a policy regarding customers withdrawing money
- Why traffic ticket income as an incentive is an urban legend
- That next week's show is going to have something new and fun!
