The Officer Tatum Show

In this episode, I break down major developments in the Karmelo Anthony case after previously unseen information about both Anthony and Austin Metcalf was revealed. We look at allegations involving fights, threats, weapons, bullying, and racist behavior on both sides, and I explain why none of Austin’s past means he deserved to die. I also explain why Anthony’s own alleged history could become a major problem if his effort to secure a new trial succeeds.

I also reveal the intent-to-sue letter sent to Al Sharpton over statements involving Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour in the Nolan Wells case. Then I respond to Elliott Connie after he accused me of lying about being arrested as a child. Instead of arguing about it, I call my mother, brother, and father live on the show and let them tell you exactly what happened.

In this episode, I break down a major new development in the Karmelo Anthony case after prosecutors revealed evidence that never made it before the jury, including alleged text messages about stabbing someone and evidence they say showed an obsession with knives, guns, and fighting. I explain why Anthony’s push for a new trial could potentially open the door to evidence that may be even more damaging to his defense.

Then we return to the Nolan Wells case after Nolan’s parents appeared on Jamal Bryant’s podcast. I react to the continued racial framing surrounding Nolan’s death, the family’s explanation for bringing in attorney Ben Crump, the harassment and threats surrounding the case, and new questions about the family’s GoFundMe and their decision not to return to work since Nolan’s death. I also explain why I believe the focus should remain on finding the truth about what happened to Nolan without destroying the lives of young people when the evidence does not support accusing them of his death

In this episode, I react to the latest development in the Karmelo Anthony case after the judge who presided over his murder trial was recused ahead of Anthony’s push for a new trial. I break down the reaction from Anthony’s supporters and explain why I believe the outrage surrounding this case reflects a much bigger problem with selective justice and racial politics.

Then we turn to the Nolan Wells case with newly revealed text messages between Nolan’s mother, Christine Wells, and Warren Hudson from the first days of the search. I also sit down with Josh Gill, incident commander for the United Cajun Navy, who was involved in the search from the beginning. Gill details his early conversations with Christine, the search of Horn Island, what the coroner initially told the family, and his offer to provide human-remains detection dogs to examine one of the boats.

In this episode, I break down the growing claims that Black Americans are being “lynched” across the country and explain why serious accusations of racially motivated murder require actual evidence. We look at the death of Tasia Fortune in Jackson, Mississippi, the Trey Reed case, and the activists using these tragedies to push a racial narrative before investigations are complete.

I also give the latest on the Nolan Wells case, including defamation attorney Edward Paltzik’s blistering letters to Nancy Grace and Don Lemon over their coverage of Warren, Jax, and Morgan. Then I respond to Tezlyn Figaro and Elliott Connie’s latest discussion about me and make the offer clear: if Nolan’s family believes I have something wrong, I’m willing to speak with them publicly or privately and correct anything they can show me is inaccurate.

In this episode, I break down what is happening in America’s education system and why so many students are reaching middle school, high school, and even college without basic reading, writing, and math skills. We look at viral teachers sounding the alarm, the growing role of technology in classrooms, and the controversy surrounding former Cambridge professor Jason Arday and the allegations about his academic work and personal claims.

I also react to Stephen A. Smith firing back at the National Association of Black Journalists after the organization criticized his commentary about Black women. Then I respond to Don Lemon and psychotherapist Elliott Connie’s latest discussion about me, including their claims about racism, discrimination, research, and my recent interview with Connie. As always, I explain why I believe the standard should be simple: right is right, wrong is wrong, regardless of race.
