Civil rights lawyer and social justice advocate Alec Karatkatsanis returns to Bad Faith to talk about his new book Copaganda: How Police & The Media Manipulate Our News. Alec zeroes in on the liberal media and political sphere to explain the establishment left's role in pushing the mythologies that fund the police, defund social services, and make the world less safe. Alec responds to growing pro-police arguments on the left, in particular the claim that the left needs to take crime more seriously if we want to win. Is Ana Kasparian right? Or does funding the police have no relationship to public safety?
