Episode 145: "A World Without Police" ft. Geo Maher
About this episode
Ep. 145 of Coffee with Comrades features a conversation with Geo Maher, author of the new book A World Without Police: How Communities Make Cops Obsolete. Geo and I discuss abolition as presence, connect the history of reconstruction to the present, examine the obstacles presented by the Fraternal Order of Police in order to explore strategies to "break the spinal column of police power," chat about community self-defense, and close with a dialogue about abolition as a central facet of revolutionary social transformation.
