<p>Death by Taser: Police Accused of Cover-Up in Death of African American Man Shocked Nine Times While in Handcuffs</p>
<p>Police in the city of Winnfield, Louisiana are being accused of covering up the death of twenty-one-year-old Baron Pikes. He died in police custody on January 21 after being shot nine times with a taser gun while in handcuffs. The city police chief initially claimed that Pikes was high on crack cocaine and PCP at the time of his death. But the coroner recently ruled Pikes' death to be a homicide, after an autopsy determined there were no drugs in his system. The coroner also determined that the police shot Pikes twice after he lost consciousness. We speak with Chicago Tribune reporter Howard Witt, who broke the story nationally; Kayshon Collins, Baron Pikes' stepmother; and Winnfield Police Lieutenant Charles Curry.

<p>Former Arlington National Cemetery Public Affairs Director Says She Was Fired for Refusing to Limit Press at Funerals</p>
<p>The secretary of the Army has ordered an internal review to examine the Army's firing last month of the former public affairs director of Arlington National Cemetery. Gina Gray assumed the role of public affairs director of Arlington in April. She quickly discovered that cemetery officials were attempting to impose new limits on media coverage of funerals of the US soldiers killed in Iraq—even after the families of the dead soldiers had agreed to let the press attend. After she pushed for greater media access, she says she was fired in a retaliatory move. [includes rush transcript]</p>

She had abrasions all over her body, a broken nose, a black eye, burned hands, loose teeth, acid burns on her genitals, and a bullet hole in her head. The Army labeled Johnson's death a suicide. But her parents never believed that story. They think she was raped and murdered and are now demanding a full congressional investigation into their daughter's death.</p>

We speak with antiwar activist Max Obuszewski and with journalist Dave Zirin. Both were the target of surveillance. [includes rush transcript</p>
