Villain Origin Story
As a black man I knew the overall topics but I appreciate the level of detailed research put into the podcast. I learned A LOT. This podcast is essentially as complete an oral history on police as you can find.
Anyone you know that is uncritically pro-police, save your time, tell them listen to this podcast as it has all the research needed to open/change minds
