The Big Cigar • S01E01 • 2024

This was not my first run-in with the law. {\an8}My family moved to Oakland from Louisiana

and roughed him up in front of us. Now you might see
the police as protection, but to us they're an occupying army
in our community. Now, fast-forward to 1967,
and ain't nothing changed. Police were still beating
and killing Black people in the streets. But Bobby and I decided
to do something about it. So, what California statute says
it's illegal to shoot a whale from a moving car or a crop duster?
