Resistance in Residence Artist: Reginald Edmund
The mission of law & disorder is to expose, agitate and build a new world where all of us can thrive. But how do we get there? How do we build a world many of us have only seen in our dreams? That’s where we believe the artists come in. So, each week we feature an artist, holding down a weekly residency with us, helping us to imagine a different, more liberated world.
This week’s Resistance in Residence Artist is playwright, filmmaker, dramaturg, and film director and producer Reginald Edmund.

LA Deputy Admits to Receiving Police-Gang Tattoo w/ Cerise Castle
In this episode, we work to understand Los Angeles’ police gangs as a former LA undersheriff admits he had a deputy gang tattoo. After two years of fighting a subpoena issued by the Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission, former undersheriff Timothy Murakami has testified that he received the tattoo of the Cavemen deputy gang while he was a deputy at the East LA station in the 1980s.
We are joined by Cerise Castle, a Los Angeles-based journalist and equity reporter for Capitol and Main. She wrote the first history of deputy gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in 2021, and has covered the aftermath of the revelations closely.

State Terror Round Up for the week of March 11th, 2024
Law Enforcement in this country kills approximately 1,200 people every single year and yet the names of many are never said or known except to their families and friends. What’s more, law enforcement agencies and other state actors harm our community in a myriad of ways that also go unnoticed like profiling, sexually assaulting and wrongfully incarcerating our people. If we don’t know its happening – then we can’t fight back. We cant adequately organize a response. So, every week on Law & Disorder we do a round up of news related to state violence. We hope this segment will serve to expose, agitate and build.
This is the State Terror Round Up for the week of March 11th, 2024.

Israel’s Planned Desecration of Ramadan w/ Khury Petersen-Smith
Is the US culpable of the war crimes being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people?
Khury Petersen-Smith, Michael Ratner Middle East Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies says, “If the US actually said, ‘We’re going to stop the flow of weapons to Israel,’ that is the one thing that I think could lead to an Israeli deescalation across the board—in Gaza, in Lebanon and in Jerusalem. Short of that, I think that they essentially have the green light in Washington to do whatever they want.”
Khury Petersen-Smith is a recurring guest on Law and Disorder’s Palestine Post. He researches US empire, borders, and migration.
