Able & Baker: Episode 25-September 11th Tribute

Former Minneapolis police officers, Chris and Karina Kelley, discuss the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attack on the Twin Towers.  September 11th, 2001 is a day that every American remembers. it was a tragic day for so many people who were working in the towers, all the first responders that responded to the incident and all the people who were afflicted by post 9/11 cancer related illnesses. 
Several people point to the fact that America has never really recovered from the terror incident and that the slow slide of division is a culmination of where we are as a society now. MSNBC stated that we are where we are because of "white supremacy" and "Christian nationalism".' others point to the negative ramifications of the Patriot Act and how it has divided our country ethnically and religiously. Whatever your opinion is or wherever you find yourself on the political spectrum, September 11th will always be a sacred day, a day to honor the lives that were lost and the bravery that people imbodied. We in Minnesota, especially honor Tom Burnett who was on flight 93 that day; Tom and several other passengers showed incredible bravery in retaking their plane from the terrorists. may he and his fellow passengers rest in peace. 
We also discuss the new appointment of the Minneapolis Public Safety Director who will replace Cedric Alexander as well as the horrific attack of a DFL party chair. 
We dedicate this episode to the thirteen young service members that died at Abbey Gate, Kabul International Airport, due to the reckless actions of the U.S. government officials. They did not need to die, and we will never forget their selfless dedication to our country.
