Being White Has Its Perks (Episode 61)

1 hour 34 minutes

It’s a no-frills-Fsck! With so much happening in just a week, T. Greg skips past the politics and postpones the #Law140 to talk about racial bias in algorithmic sentencing, the Golden State Killer finally being caught (he’s a cop), several bystander videos of police violence in Alabama, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, plus a truly astonishing arrest in Canada!

Our #Law140 on mandatory minimums will return next week! Until then remember to check out our Patreon page for exclusive patron-only content!
