  • Leftist podcast disguised

    I recently moved to the Norco area, so this podcast piqued my interest. By chapter 2 it takes an anti police, identity politics tilt. She calls the Riverside sheriff dept a racist organization and a few minutes later she says a Mexican American in the org got a promotion to detective.

  • Liberal Propaganda

    The topic and concept is very interesting, but all they do is glorify criminals and try to make them victims. Hold theses felons accountable and realize that they are just garbage people. Just because their skin is dark doesn’t give them get out of jail free cards.

  • Great subject, but in the end… NPR biased product.

    Outstanding history of the actual event with lots of leftist talking points and one sided statistics sprinkled in along the way. The host is a really good story teller, but let’s her biases show through a little throughout and then a lot in the last 3 episodes. Question… who kill more cops in the US? How many unarmed people are murdered by cops as opposed to how many cops are murdered by armed criminals in the US each year???

  • Quality Story Telling is Dead

    Started very well (first 6 episodes) before becoming a soapbox for injecting personal ideology about guns and policing. Disappointing that journalists nowadays can’t just allow people to share their experiences and let the audience draw their own conclusions on a topic or subject matter.
