Topic: Police Aggression

Reflecting on the Ferguson protests, Greg Carlwood suggests that "killing with kindness" might be a more effective strategy against police aggression than traditional confrontation. He proposes a hypothetical scenario where protesters screen movies and host barbecues for the police to break the "spell" of adrenaline and mutual enmity. This approach aims to humanize the protesters and force officers to confront the morality of their orders.

A discussion ensues regarding whether police actually prevent crime or merely punish it after the fact. The hosts contemplate whether human aggression would decrease in a system of abundance or if "psychotic breaks" like school shootings are unpreventable regardless of the social structure. They conclude that the future is inherently unpredictable and security is often an illusion.
