Media featuring cops has been a staple of North American film and television culture. Heck, who didn't grow up watching Law and Order on A&E?

For this week's episode, we have invited Reina Sultan, a Lebanese-American Muslim freelance journalist and one of the co-creators of 8 to Abolition. She is a PIC [prison-industrial complex] abolitionist and anarcha-feminist working to dismantle systems of white supremacist cisheteronormative patriarchy. Her work can also be found in VICE, WYV, Bitch Mag, ZORA, and Teen Vogue - to name a few.
In this week's episode, we discuss the following:
