#270 Trump’s Executive (Dis)Order To Fix Police Brutality

Today on the Sup podcast, Amanda and Alise share some developments in police reform from the White House and NYPD, including an executive order form Trump that does virtually nothing to address racial justice and the militarized police presence in American cities. Amanda explains how the NYPD’s recent move to disband a particularly dangerous unit could keep communities safer, and why these particular groups were involved with so many high profile fatal shootings. Then they discuss the murder of Oluwatoyin Salau, a 19-year-old activist who was found dead despite pleading for help via Twitter, and the deaths of Robert Fuller and Malcolm Harsh, two Black men who were found dead by hanging in California. Trigger Warning: Racial violence, sexual assault, suicide.
