As it says on the tin. Apologies: one of our squad has quite the cold (I shall withold their name to protect the guilty) and I didn't realize how imperfectly I'd edited out all the GSK-style heavy breathing until I'd already flattened the audio. Mea culpa! It's worst towards the beginning so if you can soldier through, it will improve.
Right off the bat, we dive into the nuts and bolts of the verdict itself (also, Adria gives the 10,000 foot overview of the case for anyone who has been living under a rock for the last year). Then...
Brandon shares a nice reflection on constitutionalism and the rule of law.
Rosemary goes on a bit of a rant regarding the "this isn't justice; this is accountability" meme (spoiler: she hates it).
We ask what justice is, anyway, and how do we get there? Do the ends ever justify the means? (Trick question.)
To what extent is police brutality driven by racism vs classism vs other factors, and to what extent do these distinctions matter?
Micah takes a moment to rant against social media (and plug for Esperanto...)
When we say "the system," what do we actually mean? What function does this vague language serve? How is racial justice like chastity? Have YOU ever had sex with a panda in a moving car?
....and so much more.
