I'm Robert Evans hosted Behind the Bastards, and I'm here
with Jason Petty, better known as the hip hop artist
Propaganda Proper. How do you how do you feel about
the police? Well, not the land, but like you know,
law enforcement. The law enforcement. Uh depends on if my
mom's listening. Um, but essentially it's complicated about the police. Yeah,
(00:24):
it is about to get more complicated because you and
I are doing a special series called Behind the Police,
where for like seven hours we're going to talk about
the entire, complicated, ugly history of what you might call
the worst police in all of history. Guys, do your
good soul care, prepare yourself. It's about to get dark.
