Show Notes
In almost all of our big cities we've seen massive protest against racist police violence after the murder of George Floyd by that Minneapolis cop -- in almost every city the police response to protest against police violence has been more police violence. For comment we turn to Harold Meyerson of The American Prospect.
Next up, can Trump do what Nixon did with white backlash -- when it comes to backlash, will America in 2020 be like America in 1968, or Reagan in 1980? We talk with Rick Perlstein, author of "Reaganland: America's Right Turn 1976-1980" out in August of 2020.
Plus: Virus-time TV with Ella Taylor -- this week, police procedurals with women detectives in the Netflix mini-series "Unbelievable".
