Police Departments Lower Hiring Standards Nationwide

In this week’s State of Criminal Justice, we’ll cover how police are lowering their standards even more, the return of a violent police unit, and the reappearance of an old form of execution. In our New Ground segment, we’ll talk about an inspiring project to get people in prisons access to critical knowledge.

PushBlack exists because we saw we had to take matters into our own hands, especially when it comes to protecting our communities. As a nonprofit, we rely on small donations from subscribers like you. You make PushBlack happen with your contributions. Most people do 5 or 10 bucks a month, but everything makes a difference. Thanks for supporting the work.
