Episode 11: An Inside Look at the NYPD with Retired Officer Edwin Raymond

TOPICS: Jesus Ociel Baena, first out, NB magistrate in Mexico murdered, Daniel Penny Trial Update, Breonna Taylor mistrial, Tech Industry profiting from non consensual AI porn

This week’s current event discussion starts with Dimez covering the tragic news of Jesús Ociel Baena, Mexico’s first out, non-binary, being killed. Then the crew discusses the beginning of the trial of Daniel Penny, for second-degree manslaughter, in the killing of Jordan Neely on the subway via deadly chokehold. The crew discusses the importance of staying vigilant with these cases in which coverage is often swept under the rug, and draw parallels to the lack of accountability in the recent mistrial declared in the Breonna Taylor case. Then Rudy brings news to the table of Tech Venture Capital Giant Andreesen Horowitz being exposed for profiting off of noncensensual AI porn.

We then kick it to a spicy, in-depth interview with Edwin Raymond, a retired NYPD officer-turned-activist-and-author. The discussion ranges from recounting prior interactions they had while Raymond was still on the force, Raymond’s whistleblowing on police misconduct, personal run-ins with police while growing up, and differences in opinion on abolition versus reform.
