Great episode. How do the “everything is white supremacy” commentators explain incidents where a white cop kills a white civilian? Maybe these cops are seeking to improve the white race by eliminating delinquents?

It was useful to hear from a former cop about all of the signs of incompetence, lack of training, etc. But I’m less optimistic that this problem can be fixed one department at a time. Sure, let’s do what we can to reform the police. But I believe this will keep happening because everyone has guns, cops are on edge, and and there is a ton of criminal activity they’re supposed to be confronting (especially drugs, domestic violence, gang violence). Mental health crises are another factor.
