  • Polarizing Reporting

    I really wanted to like and finish this podcast, but the snarky comments and tone and the one-sided reporting about law-enforcement made it so distasteful. I did not finish this podcast.

  • “We need a rope...”

    Another podcast this a patronising line to sell. There is no attempt at critical examination of issues raised. All police are corrupt/incompetent/prejudiced. “Community justice” is good, especially when the suspects are “guilty”. We used to have another name for “community justice”.

They casually told the story quickly of how he setup a pizza delivery man and pulled a gun out to rob him. Then the delivery man defended himself and Jeffrey was killed. How can a podcast simultaneously speak up for those affected by violence and also d... more
