POLICE REFORM

In this episode, Montel tackles the issue of police reform and the notion of “defunding the police.” Montel argues that the calls to “Defund the police” are actually calls to reform and re-imagine policing that most Americans agree with, even police officers. Montel makes the case that calling the idea “defund the police” has been a boon to right wing media and has allowed conservatives to turn a debate about police reform into a divisive, imaginary debate about a world with no police.
