We discuss police sexual misconduct and abuse recently and talk to Ash Agony, an independent journalist and activist, who has been going to two major trials in New York City: that of two NYPD officers indicted for allegedly raping 18-year-old Anna Chambers, and that of Arminta Jeffryes, who was found guilty of jaywalking during a protest in the first-ever case of 'police as prosecutors' in New York. Finally, we go through the week prior in news about police abuse, but lastly - we get a surprise rap performance from the NYPD, with more surprises to come from the rapping cops later.

Ep. 1 Pt. 2: In part 2, we take a deep dive into America's prison system in light of the ongoing strike against prison slavery, Operation PUSH. We're joined by Brian Sonenstein, a long-time prison reporter, who co-founded Shadowproof.com. Then we take a look at the political prosecution of J20 protesters with Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, a civil rights lawyer of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, April Goggans of Black Lives Matter DC, and Sam Menefee-Libey of the Dead City Legal Posse, an activist group giving support to defendants.
