If a cop’s lack of experience allows them to break the law and violate constitutional protections, my perception of a cop’s lack of experience allows me to refuse their directives, correct? If it seems like a violation of my rights, then the only logical course of action is to refuse compliance and defend myself if necessary.

If you’ve ever wondered why news media obsesses over shoplifting but ignores wage theft, or why media outlets report a “shortage” of prison guards without questioning why we imprison so many people, you’ve probably encountered copaganda.
In this episode, award-winning civil rights lawyer and author Alec Karakatsanis joins me to discuss his phenomenal new book, Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News, and to break down all the ways that our news ecosystem is polluted with pro-police PR.
We talk about how copaganda shapes literally every form of media in the U.S. and warps our perceptions of safety and justice. Alec reveals how these fear-driven narratives are fueling the rise of authoritarian policies, mass incarceration, and deepening inequality.

We go to a lot of events in Detroit where the mounted police are usually hanging out.
The cleanup crew is always nearby, I’ve never seen a mess left for very long.
