George Floyd - The Impact of Male Violence in Policing

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black American man, was murdered in Minneapolis by Derek Chauvin, a 44-year-old white police officer. This murder spurred huge riots, brought a resurgence to the Black Lives Matter movement, and was one of the more galvanizing events of the COVID era. In this episode we explore what police violence has to teach us about men's behavior. Male violence is a deep topic not easily understood by one point of view or one biological explanation. It has a long history and an unfortunately heavy precedent. We also explore the role of man as protector and the dubiousness of uniformed killers. This is a heavy and unflinching look at male violence in policing.--Follow Gentle Man on other platforms:https://www.instagram.com/gentlemanpodcast/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbQdEk0mgyXDsql7PPyqUQAhttps://www.tiktok.com/@gentlemanpodcasthttps://gentlemanpodcast.org/#boys #men #manhood #masculinity #feminism #maleviolence
