“Defund the Police,” that’s the talking point being used by many protesters demanding accountability from local law enforcement following the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor this year. What does it mean? That depends on who you ask. Some want to abolish police entirely, while others believe they simply want to reform how police departments and officers operate. Libertarians have arguably been the most consistent group calling for police reform before the topic was considered mainstream, wanting to address qualified immunity and police unions first.
My guest today is Zuri Davis, she’s an assistant editor at Reason.
On today’s show, we’re going to discuss where we are in the debate about policing and systemic racism, the role qualified immunity and police unions have, and how to address the topic of reform.
