The Montgomery County Police Department was a major factor in the outcome of the Keith Warren case and can be linked to many, if not all, of the missteps in the criminal investigation. Using the Warren case as a guide, this episode analyzes how police are empowered by the justice system and how that can lead to corruption. Our host, Alicia Garza, will sit down with organizer and co-founder of the Women’s March, Linda Sarsour, who has been active in the fighting against police corruption and reimagining safety for all communities. Linda will share her experience with the system of policing as a Muslim-American organizer and offer her vision for the future.
