“REACTIONARY: The American Problem of Policing,” an upcoming documentary from 2BD Media. Inefficient and ineffective could easily summarize our relationship with our national peace officers. Philadelphia’s ballooning budget (more than $870 million) follows the trend of older generations seeking out the system for protection from the divestment happening around them.

But as our very same neighbors, grandchildren, brothers and sisters are beaten, abused, constrained and killed by those officers of “peace,” we must address the insane nature of our complicity in persecution. Coming soon.
