How Public Defenders can Combat Copaganda w/Alec Karakatsanis

Sep 30

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Alec Karatkatsanis. This time, Alec is here discussing Copaganda, cop fueled propaganda that shapes the way our society understands crime, the criminal legal system, and most importantly, convinces people that the only way to make our communities safer is by increasing our policing. In his new book, Copaganda, Alec explains how this propaganda is created, how it is laundered through ostensibly liberal media sources, and what we can do about it.

Alec Karatkatsanis, Author and Executive Director, Civil Rights Corps

Correction. When Hunter spoke about the article, he stated it was 2.1 million illegal searches. It was actually 1.6 million
