On this episode of Uprising with Sonali: Courtney Morris analyses breaking news of the day. Plus, a new Justice Department probe, this time of Philadelphia's police department, has found a disturbingly familiar trend – that officer involved shootings target mostly black men. A local Philly Reverend and an ACLU attorney bring to light the report. Then, journalist Andrew Cockburn discusses his new book ‘Kill Chain’, which traces the sordid history of the US's reliance on drone wars. And, Ramzy Baround, of Middle East Eye, examines his theory that ISIS is primarily a Western phenomenon.
