Sharpton’s Progressivism is Authoritarian Nationalism

from Feed 44 - The C4SS Podcast Channel Hosted by jellycast

Intro/Outro by Jeff Riggenbach Written by David S. D'Amato Read by Tony Dreher Edited by Nick Ford Online article: http://c4ss.org/content/37515 Excerpt: "Professional police were very much a central feature of Progressive politics. Experts in government believed that professionalizing police, creating a science of policing and separating officers from particular communities, would position officers above the vagaries of politics and place, thereby leading to safer, more effective policing. But reliance on ostensibly impartial expertise, allowing committees in remote seats of government to dictate rules to everyone, is just how we get the culture of impunity we see in police departments today. Held above competition and empowered by the militarization and over-criminalization of the war on drugs, municipal police departments have free rein to abuse the communities that they are meant to serve and protect."
