What are your ideas about, like what policies we could enact that would actually create safe, healthy, thriving communities where crime isn't any longer a survival mechanism?
Have you ever wondered what a world without police might look like? Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill dive into this intriguing question in their Misfit Stars podcast. This episode kicks off with some handy tips on using Covid rapid tests to keep everyone safe. Then, they shift gears to tackle a pressing issue: the glaring differences in training hours required for various non-lethal professions versus those for police officers.
It’s an eye-opener that sets the stage for a deeper conversation on rethinking public safety. In the wake of Tyre Nichols' tragic death, Shannon and Jamie challenge listeners to imagine how we can build communities where safety doesn't rely on traditional policing. They discuss the allure of power, referencing the Stanford prison experiment, which suggests that power attracts rather than corrupts. This episode isn’t just about highlighting problems; it’s about brainstorming solutions.
The hosts encourage listeners to consider what policies could foster thriving communities where crime isn’t a necessity for survival. The episode wraps up with a powerful call to action: engage in debates over ideas without resorting to personal attacks. Shannon and Jamie urge us all to step back from vicious, ad hominem arguments and focus on constructive dialogue. It’s a thought-provoking listen that challenges conventional thinking and inspires hope for a safer, healthier society.
