465: Slide to Autocracy

On this week's episode of the Unnatural Selection Podcast we discuss a bunch of stuff: George Floyd protests continue into their 2nd week. The media wants to show you dramatic chaos - if it bleeds it leads. Citizen journalists are actually useful in this situation. Buffalo PD assault a citizen, he gets a head injury, and then they say he tripped. Buffalo squad resigns in protest… for the worst possible reasons. Actionable stuff from Campaign Zero and the #8cantwait campaign. The State's monopoly on violence is important, it needs to be earned. Elmo's dad teaches him about racism and protest. Indigenous deaths in custody are acknowledged in Australia, but they're never a priority. Australian BLM protests in Melbourne/Sydney. Sydney police try to extract some retribution on protests against police brutality… with a little police brutality. Protesting in a pandemic - the risk of a second wave of infections is very real.
