You may have seen the video of the police murder of George Floyd. There is some history to "police brutality" that Josh briefly explores. See some links below for more. On this bonus episode, Josh talks with the owner and manager of "KNND the mighty 1400" that is the popular local AM radio station, who happened to be checking out the protest because it happen to be right outside his station's office. 

In every protest movement there are many tendencies and political opinions. The tendencies change over time. Here is a snapshot of what is on the mind of protesters in CG. 

A final note: the concept of "bad apple" is a metaphor for a good apple tree who produces a bad apple. But what does it say of the police system if Indigenous, Black, Brown, queer, and trans folks people get murdered with some regularity. What if the police officers like the murderer in Minneapolis have a record of violent abuse that has gone unchecked by the "blue wall," by liberals like Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota), and by local authorities--are we talking about a bad apple or a bad tree? This is one of the key questions dividing the near universal condemnation of the murder today.
