June 03, 2020 Who Watches the Watchmen? George Floyd, Police Brutality -- and Crossing The Wedge (Part 1)
The nation, us included, have been moved by the killing of George Lloyd by police in Minneapolis. There is clear evidence of a problem with police brutality.

We need not argue over how much this is a problem for black Americans vs. Americans of other colors.. You don’t have to be black for this to be your problem. If Americans are being brutalized or killed unnecessarily by police, this is your problem.

In this episode we dive into some of the potential causes of systemic police brutality, and--most importantly--how to make a unified stand with any American, no matter their political leanings, tribal affiliations, or other cultural crap that always seems to get in the way.

Xander and Erik grab a few pints for this one and have a good time; you might consider the same, if it fits your fancy :)
