Politricks in the Politics

A few nights ago, Manny Camacho and CJ talked about how more and more Black and Brown people are registered as unaffiliated voters for various reasons, including not finding democracy in the electoral process. President Joe Biden said America will soon be “a minority-white European country,’ but encouraged his fellow Democrats to be “respectful.” at least that’s the story in the American Insider today. We unpacked some "Politricks in the Politics'' on this episode. Ramon Garcia, (Conncan) joined the conversation to share more about what is happening in New Britain CT, the lack of accountability by the mayor and shares more about the police brutality and racism happening there - would you be surprised to know that is a heavy RepubiKKKan area. Ramon will also be sharing more about an important event happening in New Britain this Sunday 8th October at 2pm at Central Park (across from New Britain City Hall), this event is for the young Latinx mother killed by New Britain Police. According to the Associated Press, conservatives are not able to speak freely on college campuses. What do you think about that? We have a lot to say about that and more on this episode. “The U.S. has the largest, most complex, most expensive, and most punitive system of justice in the world -- and the most insecurity about crime in the West, with no relief in sight. "Public safety" is an illusion: it is every individual woman, man, and child to his or her own defense. Even the police advise everybody to learn techniques of "target-hardening" and "defensible space" -- organize neighborhood watches, look out for suspicious characters, and, if you are a woman, carry a whistle and mace, take classes in martial arts, and stay off the streets after dark. In other words, take personal responsibility and good luck! How did we arrive at this conjuncture of pervasive institutional security and social insecurity?” - Anthony M. Platt, ‘Social Insecurity: The Transformation of American Criminal Justice’, 1965-2000
