Ep. 10: Georgia's police brutality problem (and how it relates everything else)

Jess, Sylvia, and Aja break down the most recent events concerning the Rayshard Brooks, Messiah Young, Taniyah Pilgrim, and Vincent Truitt cases — the most publicly known police brutality cases pending in the state of Georgia. The updates evolve into a roundtable discussion of the ripple effects of police brutality, particularly in the state of Georgia. Police brutality is not an isolated issue and is a symptom of predatory capitalism. The three dive down into Georgia's history of grand juries, what Fred Hampton thought of DAs and judges, mutual aid, houselessness, gentrification, media criticism, voter suppression, personal and community trauma, and education.
