Riley and the guys also talk about systemic problems of bias that exist in many police departments today and the reforms that are being demanded. Also, what does it mean to say, “defunding the police”? Riley explains what “defund” means and why the messaging on this issue needs to be changed. Defunding does NOT mean disbanding the police, rather it means looking at how the police funding is used and how it might be better spent on alternative resources.
