On Wednesday, in Austin TX, hundreds of police converged on the University of Texas to attack a peaceful protest in solidarity with the victims of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. At least 57 students and protest participants were arrested. A Fox News cameraman and other journalists were assaulted and arrested. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott gloated in a video about his state troopers attacking pro-Palestinian protests. We talk with Candice Bernd (@candicebernd), who was at the protests, about what happened. Bio Candice is Senior Editor and staff reporter with Truthout.

We talk with Prof. Michael Sierra-Arévalo (@michaelsierraa) about the "war on cops" and how it has shaped police culture and violence. We discuss the creation of this culture of police survival over public safety. Where and how it's created. How police see themselves as holding the line against agents of chaos. The institution's perception of race, politics and media. And the influence of the right wing, both politicians and media eco-systems. Bio// Michael Sierra-Arévalo (@michaelsierraa) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. His research employs quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate police culture, behavior, and legitimacy. His first book is "The Danger Imperative: Violence, Death, and the Soul of Policing." ---------------------------- Outro// "Green and Red Blues" by Moody
