I love this podcast! So educational and engaging. Chenjerai does an incredible job setting the scene and pulling themes through out each episode. I'm learning so many things that are helping me make sense of the US Empire.

Had high hopes but just another woke podcast. It hits all the talking points; anti cop, pro abortion, pro Palestine, race baiting garbage. Keep your kids away from these types of professors.

Description

The police tell us they are here to protect us. But what if their original purpose was something else altogether? Peabody Award-winning host Chenjerai Kumanyika takes listeners on a journey to uncover the hidden history of the largest police force in the world – from its roots in slavery, to rival police gangs battling across the city, to everyday people who resisted every step of the way. As our society debates where policing is going, Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD explores where the police came from.From Wondery, Crooked Media and PushBlack.Follow Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD on the Wondery App or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
