schoumacher: sioux city was isolated.the hundreds were turned back and rivers of milk ran down roadway ditches while in the city, strikers distributed gallons of confiscated milk free to the inhabitants. although the iowa strikers were few in numb their actions were merely the first ripple in an ever-widening sea of protest. roads were picketed in south dakota and nebraska. strikers were beaten and tear-gassed, but they held firm. north dakota organized and the georgia dairymen dumped their milk. six weeks after the sioux city strike began, it was all over. although scattered protests continued throughout the nation, they were faint echoes of the anger that spilled over at sioux city. why was the strike unsuccessful? the milk dealers could find enough milk supply somewhere to thwart the desires of the dairy farmer. so there didn't seem to be much that farmers could do to improve their general lot. not individual action, not institutional activity not even group protests and violence. economic analyst richard gill explains

host: sioux city iowa -- sioux city, iowa. good afternoon. caller: i just want to say as far as the verdict, being found guilty, that was just and right will stop no argument against that at all. this is an example of how people can respond to crimes that have been committed by american policymakers with illegal wars and supporting wars in other countries that do have an effect on muslim populations in other countries and how it can psychologically have an effect on how people view americans and killing people in other countries is not something that is not going to go by unnoticed. i'm not saying he was right, but it is something americans should take into consideration -- that these events are not random and they have causes and reasons and that is something that should be taken into account and policies need to be changed as far as our involvement in other countries to avoid these type of reactions in our country, to keep our american citizens safe. host: the associated press points out that the prosecution portrayed the tsarnaev brothers

what about the situation in sioux city, iowa? an aircraft that never should have had the mechanical issue that it had and used four crew members to get it on the ground -- >> understood. that makes perfect sense. what if ground control could play a part? we have plenty of technology available for that. if ground control could override that and allow a good captain to actually override the system and land in a dangerous spot. wouldn't that remedy it? >> it's a good question. but it brings up, who's going to monitor that? ground control or air traffic control already has a system in place where they can see a plane flying at low altitude. we have warnings for collision avoidance also. all these things are in place for us to get the airplane out of danger. >> but you're a good man, captain. that other man was not. he was listening to those bells and whistles and probably relishing in them. >> then we have 99.8% good pilots out there. i don't see changing a system and potentially designing an airplane to protect it from the pilot as

sioux falls, north dakota. caller: good morning. i'm glad you guys are talking others. there was a case in monterey county on the central coast of california. a small city called king city, california where this exact same thing is going on. they just arrested a former chief of police. they arrested and in interim chief of police and a few officers. what they were doing was pulling over a few migrant workers close to payday, seizing their cars and money. listening to mr. smith speak, i'm wondering if the cops were arrested because the county district attorney wasn't getting any of the money. the chief of police's brother owned the post service in the city, so that was the loop. host: are you familiar with this? guest: no, i wasn't. that's a great story. that just shows how rank the corruption can get. and how, what seemed like small abuses, if tolerated, get worse and worse. this is obviously criminal. that's why they were prosecuted. the much more common scenario is police who are engaged in highway robberies, but for the sake of their own police department, they are not personally stealing the money although in some cases they do. that abuse, for chil
