🎄12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved 🤎

On the 8th day of the 12 Days of Christmas, we examine a case that sits in the uncomfortable space between fear and force.


In the early morning hours of May 3, Tyler Chase Butler called police reporting a burglary in progress at his home. What followed left one teenager dead, two families shattered, and a community divided.


This episode breaks down what happened that night… the TikTok prank, the fear inside the home, the shots fired, and the legal line that now defines Tyler’s future. We talk about accountability on all sides, the dangers of treating fear as content, and why cases involving Black men and self-defense are so often scrutinized differently.


This isn’t about picking sides.

It’s about asking the hard questions… and sitting with them.
