Excerpt: /138/ Fuck, Abolish, Defund: The Police

The episode is for patrons only. Sign up at patreon.com/bungacast The protests in the US against police violence - and their globalisation - prompts us to discuss radical proposals for what to do about the police. We look at the US, the UK and Brazil, each in their own national contexts, and debate how policing is structure and what makes realistic responses to state repression a political priority. Readings: Symposium on Policing, NonSite, various authors incl. Dustin Guastella, Christian Parenti Global Perspectives on Policing, Verso Books blog, various authors incl. Alex Hochuli
