OUTRAGEOUS! MAGA Gov. Jeff Landry's POWER PLAY Over Public Defense in La., THREATENING OUR RIGHTS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- Louisiana passed legislation in March giving Republican Governor Jeff Landry more command over the state's public defense system.
District defenders in charge of indigent defense were told about possible pay cuts, reversal of raises and encouraged them to open private practices.
Plan also ties district defender pay to fees that clients must pay their office whenever they're convicted.
Gary Chambers Jr., spoke with Roland Martin about Landry's outrageous power play that is threatening the rights of Louisiana residents.

Black non-voting folks in LA getting everything they deserve in light of the low voter turnout. No tears from me.
EXACTLY if you want change you SHOULD vote...Votes are how the governor got elected. If you tried and could not vote, exhausted all avenues to vote, that's a different story, but not to vote at all and complain, this is what happens and what you get.....
What??? What if the numbers just aren't there to win?? What if the majority is racist Conservatives? Oh well, them's the breaks, tough luck?
@@sharonwashington9315well Spoken and True to the Word Sister ❤❤❤❤
It's called democracy
On god
This is what happens when you don’t vote! Don’t stay home!
Get out and do something. In my blue sanctuary city I'm going tent to tent to make sure that our outdoor community members and addicts are registered to vote. 💙💙
Voting is in violation of Deuteronomy 17:15. I will obey the Most High's laws before I follow man.
I bet Jeff L ain't getting a reduced pay.
I was a public defender in Louisiana for 6 years (2002-2008). My first year I handled misdemeanor cases with a case load of over 1,000 cases then I was "promoted" to handle felony cases my last 5 years with an annual case load averaging over 500 cases. The case loads for a Louisiana public defender well exceed the American Bar Association's (ABA) and the Louisiana Bar Association's recommendations. It is humanly impossible to handle that many cases adequately and would literally be legal malpractice. There have been decades of litigation and legislative actions to address the issue, but it seems like the situation has gotten worst not any better! I would say that my career as a public defender was somewhat successful in that I was trained by professors at Southern University Law Center to fight for my clients by filing a lot of different motions to get the District Attorney's Office to drop charges and/or offer favorable plea deals b/c their numbers game don't allow them to waste time on hearings on the motions so they were more motivated to just get rid of the case on our terms so that we could focus on the more serious cases. I noticed that they also talked about the prison system in Louisiana. I've been to the Louisiana State Penitentiary twice in my career. It is notoriously known as Angola b/c to this day it looks exactly like you have traveled back in time to a slave plantation with hundreds of black males working in the fields of the farm under the watchful eyes of white men mounted on horses armed with rifles and orders to shoot to kill if anyone of the prisoners try to escape b/c it is the maximum security prison for men convicted of murder, rape, robbery, and other violent crimes serving life sentences. You will leave that place, where hundreds of black men call home and will never leave alive, mentally disturbed!!!
Corrupt system. Corrupt Biden. Hunter is a hero. Corrupt politicians. Steal the election one more time
Sad,sad and sad
Incredible 😢wow
I’m in Louisiana & those serpents are trying to steal once again
You can’t steal rights that are relinquished by not voting.
They already have Roland tried to tell black people in Louisiana. 🗳
I’m from Louisiana, but seeing my people back home allowing this 🤡 to become governor after being the AG is just embarrassing. This is just a sign of what’s going to happen in November.
Ppl better get out and vote these mayo jars are tripping forreal 🤷🏾♂️
Much respect to Mr.Chambers.🇺🇲🗽💙24
Thank you!
I've actually experienced these red hats first hand and the trauma they cause. They drive around the community with those big American flags waving off the back of their cars and it's absolutely terrifying to experience. Vote blue as if your life depends on it.
Louisiana doesn’t feel like their life depended on it. They didn’t vote and nothing will change.
If flying a nation flag scares you, I could only wonder what doesn't scare you would be the smaller list. Voting only one way isn't how democracy works.
Absolutely terrifying ? 😅😂
@@BennyRuff
People fear different things and doesn’t give you the right to talk 💩 to them about it. Now, what scares you?
@@BennyRuff
She vote any damn way she chooses. That’s none of your damn business. If she fears the big flags. She fears the big flag. No one needs you to try to give a history lesson regarding democracy. We’re not stupid and you don’t know every damn thing.
I recall how Phil Scott and his group were celebrating the low Black voter turnout in Louisiana on his website, African Diaspora News Channel. Some of the people were talking about, "tailgating", instead of voting in the comments of his broadcast before the actual election took place. It's crazy, or maybe they're crazy. Look what they've got for their non-effort!
Yessss you are so right… dark money pays people with the same color skin to lead them straight to deep into the depths hells dungeon.. 😤😤🤬🤬
I hate that platform… because his ass is living in AFRICA… go figure
Now Phil Scott is advising us to not vote or to vote for Trump. When we listen to people like him, we continue to get these results. Good luck to those who listen to Phil Scott.
Roland is misleading you with this story and the other story with Louisiana you need to do your research on this issue and not Roland take he has a show and not a news outlet.
@@bestlife7912we good y’all are mislead by Roland
Vote Blue
Vote blue no way. blue voters are lost souls
No
Ppl keep thinking they have a choice in 🗳 smh
It sounds like something's criminal going on beneath the service
Well, you can't be made at me, I voted
What recourses does the people have
Oh well you though voting was not important, your voice could have changed the outcome.....
Everyone even speeding tickets. Ask for jury trial, tie the courts up...no plea deals
Exactly! We need to start voting
What would they do if every last person plead not guilty?
Guess I would take my case sui jurus. Got a law degree and don't need no lawyer.
That professor dude and those b1s are convincing black people not to vote
The rappers are telling the young blacks not to vote. All Louisianans are not listening to those clowns. Most olders folks vote for every election
How do I unsubscribe from this Talented 10 Nincompoop R Martin
Lisa. Eugene.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WEAK IN THAT STATE
You seeing voting don't mean any thing they can still do want they want
You one to talk Roland , don’t you live in Texas ?
Bet Rebecca,!
In MICHIGAN THEY GET PAIED MORE IF THEY GET YOU TO PLEAD.
🙆 Boycott Sports " College and Pro! Yes it is not good for the players but the big money tickets will make something happen quickly!🤷
This is exactly a way for this governor to line his pockets and his cronies/relatives as well putting more people in prison and getting more more for the prisoners.
Do y'all remember the 13th amendment? If you're in prison, you absolutely are a slave.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Voting is so crucial for us, I can’t understand why people so lazy about voting. People have died for this right!
Don’t commit crimes. It’s not that hard
What about the poor innocent… that loses their jobs because they thought the look like somebody… that can’t afford a lawyer… he will be slave labor for a year
The problem is there are people who don’t commit crimes but are charged and can’t afford an attorney.
Only the privileged can say that
@@LavelChance millions of poor unprivileged people don’t commit crimes.
Voting is only one part of the Solution. What about pooling millions together to build schools to stop the school to prison pipeline. What about creating jobs for our children? Why not invest in or community?
Will never visit or do any business in Louisiana or have any business dealings with any business associated with that state.
I bet u the prison is private so black people have to pay for it

So violate the rights to a fair trail. If your black your lucky to make it to court. Then to hear you dont have a right to attorney because your family isn't rich due to their historical past. Sounds alot like Republican planning to me.
Now the question should be what else has Roland and company mislead you on.
@percymirakles according to you, everything, right? That's what you're bout to tell me? Let's hear it. Share with the class your enlighten wisdom.
@@LamontDaSinger Roland and his team deleting comments the Governor is using the increase funding that would of went to the chief public defenders and using it to hire more public defenders that’s why Roland won’t mention where he got the information from.
They don’t think fat meat greasy when it come to voting.. we been telling them to get out and vote down here.. but they don’t think it matters..
Well, you can’t tell some people a damn thing. They can’t say they were not warned, let the chip fall where they may.
Rolands got allergies 😂. I do to and they’re horrible!!! 🫠
slavery by any other name. leave the state teachers doctors etc lawyers
You can also blame the terrible Democrat party leadership in that state. They are disorganized from the top to the bottom.
Ten million illegals. Give them all the jobs. Biden said that. Illegals are doing better than black folks. Vote for Biden again and remain poor
All states
Oh Lort! Even voted from aborad --- keep telling folks to vote 😢
I wonder if Black people would boycott that state what would happen
And that my friends is why no republican should be in a position of authority
No bias here… What is this the Trump hate channel
VOTE TRUMP 2024❤
Black Unity can accomplish anything. Stick together Family. Support @rolandsmartin His show should be #1 in the world with the intelligence & action plans he brings. Plus, his show he Black Owned & the Best in the business
