When U.S. police departments didn't evolve out of slave patrols, they tended to form out of a desire to protect the property of the wealthy. In practice, this meant beating, murdering and arresting people who didn't want to work 12 hour days until they died.FOOTNOTES:

lots of triggered fascists claiming fake news, yup conservative morons sure hate facts and accountability.
too bad they didn't massacre the pinkerton pigs
The comment section is always the real bastard
one of the worst podcasts I ever listened to
I couldn’t even get through one episode. It’s annoying honestly. And some stuff is just not 100% right on your views. Not saying the history is wrong.
PRop's delight at the absurdity of the truth is contagious.
listened to another episode just to see if what i heard was accurate. this podcast paints large strokes with large brushes which in actuality is not true. there are some bad police officers. that doesn't mean they are all bad. defund the police is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. they do need more training. 3 months ro be able to know the rules and enforce the rules? next doctors are gonna go to school for 3 months. that's crazy short! this poscast spita hate. our police who protect and serve us need our support! god bless american and God bless our police officers!
any chance they can put this in an international context? I know it's about USA police but if it was the same the world over then it's not a remarkable thesis that Robert presents, just a history.
Tops so far.
this is by far one of the worst podcasts with fictitious information. what a waste
Fake and stupid. Get real jobs.
propaganda can take some getting used to, but he has insights and value to add, more than some other guests
The first couple of minutes were so bad I stopped listening. Too much giggling and "likes".
This is good but that rapper is incredibly annoying.
