Beautiful new season ❤️

The fatigue is real! 😭

It’s been proven that he was not an alter boy and in fact was an aggressive criminal. Why lie?

I’m white but I didn’t ask to be so please do not hold that against me. ✊🏿

I love this show. Surprised at the rate because is informative

I have never listened, might start soon it seems good

I’m going back home now I love it so far and so far I love it and I’m going back in

The Feb 22nd forensics episode !! I learned so much. Thank you Jay!

A real look into the criminal justice system, powerful stuff

Loved this first episode of the new season.

This is a podcast that everyone in America should listen to, and I can’t wait to see what is coming in season 2.

I loved season one so much, I’m so excited for season two! Jay Ellis provides such thorough description and explanations of difficult and nuanced topics. His smooth voice doesn’t hurt either ;)

Thank you for tackling such important topics

Important is such an overused word, but this show is really it. Hard topic but presented in a way that feels accessible and motivating. Can’t wait for season 2. (Plus also I could listen to Jay Ellis ALL. DAY. LONG.)

Soo informative and so spot on!! Love it!!!

Cops kill far less black people than white. Black civilians kill many times more of their people than police ever have.

Love this podcast and how information is relayed. Great host and guests. Recommend.

Praises cities and the activists who have driven dramatic police reform. Yet the results have been overwhelming bad for everyone especially black communities. Of course they don’t report on that in this podcast.

Fact based and informative.

If you’re confused why police are allowed to keep their jobs even after clear, unambiguous murder caught on tape; this will not only answer that, but tell you what you can do it about it. I truly believe the contents of this podcast contain the answer to desperately needed police reform.

Negative reviews are either incoherent or angry at the content of the podcast. The production is high quality, the guests are experts in their fields, and the conversations are ALL fact-based and research-centric. I’m learning a ton of indisputable information about the topic. I would say this podcast is 95% facts on police unions and accountability and 5% dramatic/emotional individual stories of persons who’ve suffered/died from police negligence. Also, I’m a liberal snowflake. I know for a fact that if you are a Blue Lives Matter person this show will trigger you as much, if not more, than those of us who want to see police reform. And yet, facts are facts. You’ve been warned.

This is the podcast I wanted on systemic issues in policing and how to change them.

Listen and learn

I truly appreciate this podcast’s ability to breakdown police unions and the manner in which the episodes were organized to not OVERWHELM the listener is much appreciated. Jay takes a very serious issue and brings light moments—which again, I really appreciated. I am most thankful to the resource of nixthe6.org and campaign zero which has become my roadmap of action. Thank You!!!! I hope there will be more episodes in the future.

I love the storytelling and sound effects of this show! The information is so insightful and learning about it is enjoyable

This podcast was very informative. Protesting and raising awareness is a great first step in reform but action is needed to make meaningful lasting change. Holding police accountable should be one of the top priorities in the next steps. Dereck Chauvin had numerous complaints on his record before killing George Floyd. This podcast showed me how an officer can manage to continue to patrol the streets with this kind of record. It’s scary to think how often this could be happening.

I am so grateful for the research and information in this podcast. Many questions will be answered by this podcast. Listen with an open heart and mind

We need more podcasts that examine why law enforcement acts with impunity especially in their encounters with minorities. I hear these stories of primarily black men and women being abused and mistreated and am outraged and want to understand the structures in place that prevents the rapid progression and change that need to take place in law enforcement. I think this podcast does a great job examining why it has been hard for change to occur and what’s taking place now to put change into motion in the law enforcement system.

Thank you so much Jay for this informal Podcast! I learned so much. I’m going to listen to it again and write down the 6 things that need to be changed in our police department and work to get them changed. I have 2 African American sons that should not be afraid of the police.

This podcast is great. It provides a lot of detail on this very important and complex issue without being boring or too fast to understand. I learned a ton and appreciated the delivery.

Thank you!! Please keep teaching us how the systems works.

This was so informative!

Thanks Jay & all the folks who contributed - learned so much!

Fantastic, well rounded and informative!!

Very accessible information grounded in real life stories of how change happens (wow Austin go you!) - balance of realistic optimism highly recommend

Amazing quality podcast with helpful information!

This podcast is compelling and educational. It made clearer to me how we got to where we are. I feel better moving forward with an idea of how I can be a part of the solution!

Highly relevant, important information. The delivery is engaging and production is high quality.

Here are explanations and background you’ve been looking for to improve your understanding, and get you started participating in change. Don’t skip this.

Highly recommended!

If black lives matter the police need to loose their grip on power which increase the budgets? Over time? And they get chunks of homeland security budgets, and sone, military budgets. How? They trade union endorsements for money, and deeper protections. Why does that matter? Politicians cannot get elected without those endorsements. And even in races where endorsement do t matter, they’re purchased I. Blocks. If you need a Democrat ejected one Los Angeles, you may have to deal with endirsemts and promised elsewhere. If a party needs to win an area, the the police unions get politicians I. The districts that need either bigger budgets, and:or protections. This is why politicians and stop short of forcing police to do anything. They csnt? Only party leaders can. What to do? Investigate, publish report, names names, indict politicians. Otherwise a state or federal end to endorsement by police must be nationwide and have the legislation that keeps it in unlawful. There are shows out there called, the stuff you should know. But the real stuff we don’t know, we can’t know. If black lives matter and you waste time talking about the content, the woe, you’ll only get sympathy and no difference made. This is the only thing worth working on period. Kamala never fails lowed her heart, often needing to file death penalty charges when it was against her heart. Now that she will have power, ask her. IS NOW THE NOW? because she have in until she was powerful rnough. So ask, Kamala, is now the now? There is no point unless the matter matters yet and if the now is now. Until the., follow endorsement, check the politicians calendar for meetings. Getting notes from those meetings and track it against what unions demand and win during negotiations. If black lives matter, this path is your road map. Do not deviate, no matter how salacious a story is, content uses your cache and you’ll need it fir the change. Now could be the now. Get guests on your show who begin to champion the idea about endorsement. Get articles written that tell readers for the first time that endorsement are paid for, nor are they a reflection of which politician is stronger in crime. It’s lobbying for money and benefits in exchange to appear strong on crime which is necessary to get elected. Thanks

Listened to all four episodes in one sitting. The host, Jay, and the great production made it easy to wrap my head around the policy that has shaped policing and shielded police departments from transparency and reform. Major props to everyone involved.

This was GREAT, I just wish there were more episodes. I feel like there is so much more to be uncovered

I thought the country had reached it peak in ignorance until I heard this podcast. Now I’m sure we have reached it. Don’t waste your time on this trash.

Timely, interesting, well produced and presented. Well worth my time and yours.

Great podcast and very informative. 👍

Great dive into policing history, how we got to where we are, why we need to talk about it and the need to acknowledge implicit bias and racism. The system is broken and completely erases any of the work of the “good cops”. We need to fix it.

Anyone who thinks thinks there isn’t a problem with policing in America should listen to this podcast. Smart, well made and genuinely interesting, I’m so glad I came across this pod.
