We really talk about that from having spoken to cops directly and trying to really explore where that comes from.
We really pinpoint...
the Irish origins of the NYPD and the culture that comes from that is critical to understanding modern day policing because those techniques for avoiding accountability can be traced back to the earliest stage of the NYPD.
And those techniques have also been shared with police departments around the country.
And it's critical to understand how it looks on the ground, whether that's the famed, I don't recall, or other techniques to avoid accountability that will always tie back to what's happening in your local police department.
And let me just add to that, because we're tracing the Irish history here.
What we really learned is two things.
First, America is, as I think we all know here, failing over police communities, right?
We have the NYPD obstructing management of stop and frisk.
They're still under federal monitorship.
They have policies that have failed and continue to harm black and brown communities disproportionately.
And what we also delve into is that America's failing law enforcement as well.
And we, having spoken to so many cops, see that the left has failed to distinguish between a good cop and a bad cop.
And that is a real phenomenon.
And the right has said that we want to have cops play God in the hood.
And between those two ideas, you have departments drifting rightward.
You have officers not having progressives vote for whistleblower protections.
for progressive policies within police departments because we said defund.
But the reality is that you actually need to understand how the logistics of these departments work because it's complex, it's built to last.
And until we have community involvement and police oversight, the system is going to keep on failing us and we're going to keep ending up with folks like George Floyd.
