![Mark Essex](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Dave Lampell delivers a short program documenting the shootout in New Orleans in 1974 where Mark Essex, a 23 year old Vietnam veteran killed police officers. The area was closed off, and calling on backup for reinforcements, police numbers were in the hundreds. They believed there to be more than one sniper. They shot Mark Essex over one hundred times, killing him the first night of the shootout. The police also took out many of their own in an insane display of force. The rest of the program gives a history of Mark Essex’s life in Kansas and suffering racism in the military. Great quotes about the racist State from his mother and sister.
