Podcasts about defunding police

We ask whether “defund the police” improved public safety and land on a tougher answer: the slogan fails as a plan but succeeds as a warning sign about trust and broken systems. We argue that America keeps treating police as the default response to every social crisis, then blames them when the rest of the system collapses. • defund as a signal of lost public trust rather than simple anti-cop hatred • communities feeling over-policed for small issues and under-policed for serious violence • police as a catch-all tool for mental health, homelessness, addiction, family conflict, and more • the contradiction of demanding better policing while assuming less funding will deliver it • why training, hiring, supervision, body cameras, and accountability systems cost money • the difference between thoughtful proactive policing and harmful harassment • officer pullback, why it happens, and why it cannot become a punishment to the public • alternatives to policing, what has to be true for them to work at 3 a.m. • the core claim that policing is downstream of a broader systems problemDrop your thoughts in the comments, but keep it respectful. This topic deserves more than slogans.#TheGrayArea #TwoCopsOneDonut #PoliceReformsend us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comSupport the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc *Send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.com

I don't bother interviewing most politicians. But former presidential candidate Andrew Yang is interesting.Unlike most politicians, he has experience as an entrepreneur, he criticizes politicians for their "magical thinking," and he even left his party (the Democrats) to start the "Forward Party."I spoke to him in 2021, soon after its launch. We discuss if a third party could ever succeed, where politicians' magical thinking has failed, entrepreneurship, and I push back on his vision for universal basic income (basically free money).

Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – The individual parked his car, double-parked in New York City, causing traffic and frustration among drivers around him. It is surprising that no one questions the individual's intentions or notices that he has left his car double-parked, carrying a long gun. Maybe if someone had called the police at that moment, this tragedy could have been prevented. Who knows!

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch, as they welcome the news that former Vice President Kamala Harris will not run for governor of California in 2026. They also discuss New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani attempting to downplay his past calls to defund the police, and whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth might be eyeing a future political campaign.First, they're glad to see Kamala Harris choose not to enter next year's governor's race, especially since she reportedly had little interest in actually doing the job. They also discuss whether she's likely to pursue another presidential campaign in 2028 and what the California governor's race looks like without Harris in the field.Next, Jim and Greg focus on Mamdani's effort to distance himself from his long-held “defund the police” stance following this week's horrific mass shooting in Manhattan. They're also frustrated by polling that shows Mamdani likely to win the New York City mayoral race, regardless of how the rest of the field shakes out. Jim also slams a Politico article that dismisses criticism of Mamdani's Marxist ideology as “Mamdani Derangement Syndrome.”Finally, they consider reports that Sec. Hegseth might be thinking about leaving his cabinet position to run for political office in Tennessee. Jim and Greg both find this far-fetched, considering the huge goals Hegseth is pursuing for our military and because there's not much he could run for in Tennessee anytime soon.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

San Francisco's supervisors want police on every corner, but don't want to pay the $91 million overtime bill they've created. Classic government hypocrisy: defund the police, watch officers leave in droves, then act shocked when overtime costs skyrocket to maintain basic public safety. This video exposes how city leaders who demonized policing now face a staffing shortage of 525+ officers while simultaneously demanding increased patrols in tourist areas. Meanwhile, businesses flee downtown, property values plummet by 90%, and supervisors somehow believe they can have public safety without paying for it. Is there anything more predictable than politicians creating problems and then complaining about the cost to fix them?

In this episode we interview Efemia Chela. Chela is a Zambian-Ghanian writer, literary critic, and an editor. Efemia joins us in her role as the commissioning editor at Inkani Books, which is the publishing division of The Tricontinental Pan Africa NPC, a research institute that collaborates with and is aligned with the work of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. In this conversation Efemia shares a bit about some of the current struggles in South Africa, and situates Inkani Books as a publisher within those struggles as well as within their broader African continental context as a Pan African publishing house.  The focus of this discussion is Inkani's latest book, Tell No Lies, Claim No Easy Victories which brings together an extensive set of Amílcar Cabral's interviews, official speeches and PAIGC party directives from 1962 through 1973. It features a foreword by Grant Farred and an introduction by Sónia Vaz Borges who we've previously hosted on the podcast.  We engage Efemia about several of Cabral's important theoretical interventions, and the grounding of his theory in the real movement of the Guinean and Cape Verdean people and their liberation struggles. We talk about the continued relevance of his thought today to people and movements across the African continent, and discuss studying it in group contexts. Among other things, we discuss the idea of a new humanity forged in struggle, Cabral's thinking on culture, on patriarchy, his caution with regards to decolonization and neocolonialism, and the question of what Cabral calls organic security for radical and revolutionary movements.  We want to deeply thank everyone who has been supporting us over these last 5 years. In just the last week we surpassed 1 million downloads around the world, almost half of those downloads have come this year. That feels like an amazing milestone. And we're so thankful, and hope to continue to grow from here. We do want to note however that we don't get paid anything for downloads. We don't sell ads. And it is December, and this month we have a goal of adding 31 patrons, one per day. We're always catching up with non-renewals this time of year as folks divert money towards holiday expenses. Which is understandable. So if you can afford to become a patron of the show, even if it's just $1 a month or a small yearly contribution, it really helps a great deal at this time.

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts. The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life. His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU. Purchase his book at- https://www.amazon.com/Rational-Bible-Exodus-Dennis-Prager/dp/1621577724   The Rational Bible: Genesis by Dennis Prager  USA Today bestseller Publishers Weekly bestseller Wall Street Journal bestseller Many people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral. This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant—both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written. Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational? This book will give you many reasons to rethink your doubts. Do you think faith and science are in conflict? You won't after reading this commentary on Genesis. Do you come from a dysfunctional family? It may comfort you to know that every family discussed in Genesis was highly dysfunctional! The title of this commentary is “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. In Dennis Prager's words, “If something I write is not rational, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible—whose Hebrew grammar and vocabulary he has mastered—to people of every faith and no faith at all. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world in general and to you personally. His goal: to change your mind—and, as a result, to change your life.

Democrats around the country are folding like cheap suits when it comes to defunding the police as mayors across the country move to restore funding for police departments or like in Chicago raising their budgets. As usual an increase in crime has the Democrats running for cover as if the protests of last summer after the murder of George Floyd never occurred. This ridiculous move by the Democrats is exactly why we are in the position we are in currently. The protests in 2020 are directly linked to public policy decisions from 5, 10, and even 20 years ago. You cannot starve communities and expect to not experience some repercussions form those decisions. As the Democrats like Rahm Emanuel have closed schools and sucked social services from these communities they are in fact continuing a long tradition of segregation and deprivation of these communities that spilled out in to the streets last summer. Mayor Lori Lightfoot campaigned as a new type of progressive Democrat. Unfortunately her governing style has not reflected the values of a progressive democrat. In fact, unlike many Democratic mayors she never embraced the defund movement and moved instead to increase police budgets despite what occurred in Chicago last summer. This is exhibit number one in the case against Mayor Lightfoot in her fraud trial when she seeks re-election in winter 2023.nWe can only hope that each of the Democrats that folded find the same pain at the voting booth that it seems Mayor Lightfoot may very well experience.

While many conservatives are praising Oakland Police Chief LaRonne Armstrong's withering criticism of the move to defund the city's police department by nearly $20-million during a crime spike, they shouldn't forget that just a few months ago Armstrong was just as outspoken against armed citizens protecting and defending themselves and others from the city's violent criminals.

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Dan and Eric talk about the world-wide insanity happening in almost every major city. The riots seem to be about more than racism and police brutality. What is under attack is Americanism--and we have to fight to keep it alive. In the news, the WHO is reporting new cases of Ebola. Vladimir Putin spills 20,000 tons of oil into a river. Space X deploys 60 more Starlink satellites. Governor Northam in Virginia tears down a Rober E. Lee monument. In the land of nonsense, the Grim Reaper makes an appearance in Florida. In Dallas, a demolition crew screws up and half demolishes building. Dan tries to replay a nonsense news item.
