NYPD Using Drone Surveillance Against Pro-Palestinian Protesters + NY State Ties to the West Bank Occupation w/ Ali Winston

On this edition of Parallax Views, investigative journalist Ali Winston, co-author of The Riders Come Out at Night: Brutality, Corruption, and Cover-up in Oakland, returns to discuss recent news about the NYPD using surveillance drones against pro-Palestinian protesters (See: "NYPD used drones for arrests in pro-Palestine protests in NYC" - The New York Post). Additionally, Ali and I will discuss the state of New York's connections, through various non-profits and LLCs, to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian West Bank. We also discuss the wider problems of NY police corruption dating back to the days of Frank Serpico, NYC Mayor Eric Adams and former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, the possibility of the current Levant War (Israel-Hamas War, Gaza War, etc.) turning into a dangerous regional war, Peter Thiel's Palantir, Chinese surveillance technology being used in the U.S., how the War on Terror came home (ie: the surveillance state), and much, much more.
