Policing in America: A Tale of Race, Sex and Violence

On Today’s inaugural show, we focus on policing in America, examining race, sex, and violence.  We specifically take up women and policing, elevating the stories and experiences of women.  It is a perspective often absent from mainstream conversation.  Even in recent weeks as the nation has erupted in protests related to the tragic murder of George Floyd, some might argue that the killing of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, an emergency medical technician in Louisville, Kentucky was an afterthought, even though her death too was no less inhumane, violent, and preventable.
