Excellent American history of cops
Very useful information in this pod, love the sources provided. Eye opening, learned some things I didn’t know, enjoyed re-learning things forgotten.
The most hilarious part is the sad people coming to low rate it because of their bootlicking ignorance. Stay mad. 🥰
Impressive show
Plenty of stories and statistics I’ve never heard of before until now. They provide plenty of facts and historical accounts. Information is cited and worth exploring even more outside of this podcast. Give it a listen!
Hypothetical
I love the complaining about cops not responding fast enough or with enough enthusiasm for petty crime but also the complaining about police “harassing” people for petty crimes. I wouldn’t have disliked this podcast so much is any realistic solutions were offered but it just seems like people complaining about police doing their job.
