Jelani Day Drowned?, Texas Redistricting Lawsuit, Judge rules victims were "rioters"

10.26.21 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Hundreds of people joined Jelani Day's mother in Illinois, demanding answers on how her son died.  The corner says his death was caused by drowning, but his family believes something sinister happened. A Wisconsin judge rules defense attorneys can call the men shot by a white man 'rioters,' 'looters,' or 'arsonists' at trial, but no one can refer to them as victims. A federal lawsuit filed in Texas wants to overturn the state's GOP-drawn redistricting map for Congress. We'll have the President & CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, Melanie Campbell, talk about voting rights. The clemency for death row inmate Julius Jones has been postponed until a judge can decide if Jones can be added back to a lawsuit about execution methods. We'll take a look at a survey that says 911 dispatchers are not prepared to handle calls dealing with behavioral health crises.
