The latest edition of Submedia’s Trouble series, “ACAB,” is on the history of policing and the police role in society. I make an appearance to talk about slave patrols, counterinsurgency, and resistance.
Black Agenda Report (Feb. 2019)
The Black Agenda Report asked me some questions about Our Enemies in Blue. In particular, they wanted to know what I hope the book can accomplish, and a little about who inspired my approach.
That was followed by a longer interview with Glen Ford on Black Agenda Radio.
Policing Interview, Part Three (Jan. 2019)
In the third part of my most recent KBOO interview, Bill Resnick and I consider this conundrum:
How can we prevent the police from joining with the Far Right, when there seems no practical possibility of moving them toward the Left?
Radio Interview (January 2019)
I had a long and wide-ranging conversation with KBOO’s Bill Resnick. He is particularly worried about a police/military alliance with the extreme right wing. So we talked about that, police crowd control strategies, and the tensions between reform and abolition.
The interview is divided into three parts. The first two aired December 31 and January 7. I assume the final installment will play on January 14.
