From Camo to Cops: PTSD, Forever War, and Police Brutality in America
In this first-ever episode, I’m bringing you live to Minneapolis/St. Paul in the wake of George Floyd’s murder by Minneapolis police. We’ll discuss the burning of the Third Precinct, the intersection of police brutality with America’s forever wars, and then bring that back around to discussing how Minneapolis (and policing as a concept) move forward from here.
