Gang Shit

About this episode

The idea that 'The police are the biggest gang in America' is almost a cliche at this point, and yet, it has never been more obvious than it is at this moment in history. In this episode, Linqua and KNife explore the formation of Americas police force, it's roots and it's original purpose. They are joined by the host of the "Hood Politics" and "Behind the Police" podcast, rap artist Propaganda to discuss how accurate that cliche really is.
