Alec Karakatsanis, the author of “Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System,” joins Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola to discuss the movement to defund police.
Alec responds to the pro-police narrative pushed by the media establishment after Election Day. They contend the defund the police movement lost big at the polls.
Later, Alec goes through several examples of copaganda in the press from the past months and he also describes how one should respond to the argument that cops are needed to solve murder cases.
