Episode 28.2: Problems with Policing in America

I discuss the killing of George Floyd, the 2016 killing of Daniel Shaver, and the instances of non-lethal police brutality we’ve seen in the last few weeks, arguing that there seem to be systemic problems with how police are trained in America, and the issues are not just racism, even if they disproportionately affect black people. At the same time, police overall do a lot of good, and I’m grateful to have them. This is part 2 in a series of episodes about race, police, protests, riots, and BLM. See the first episode here.
