Police Funding Industrial Complex

from Is This For Real? Hosted by Oumar Salifou

The Edmonton Police Service budget continues to be increased, for the second time in a row since the killing of George Floyd and supposed calls for police accountability. We break down the recent history of police funding in Edmonton and the complicity of media and politicians in this cycle of growing police power. We also had a great discussion with Rob Houle about the harmful roots of policing in the west and the ultimate impact of the Community Safety and Well-Being Task Force, of which he was a part of.
