Baltimore County Police Officer Derek Hadel was called to do a wellness check on Samuel “Big Sam” Brown last month. The encounter ended with the officer knocking Brown into the pavement, causing severe brain damage, and eventually death. Officer Hadel is under investigation for police misconduct.

It turns out this isn’t the first time Officer Hadel has been investigated for misconduct. In 2023, he crashed a police car in a “preventable at-fault” incident, but maintained his employment.

Host Angela Rye’s guest for today is DJ Quicksilva. Big Sam was Quicksilva’s tour manager and is running the Justice For Big Sam campaign.

CALL THE BALTIMORE ATTORNEY GENERAL, ask them to press charges on Officer Hadel: (410) 576-7070
