Will Bunch: Uvalde cops 'illustrated what policing in America is really like'

We've Got Issues

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show noting that Canadian security experts are becoming nervous about the potential for their big, heavily armed neighbors to the South to experience democratic collapse--and warn that America's conservative media is helping fuel a rise in right-wing extremism that's now dribbling over the border.

Then we speak with Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Will Bunch about what the horrific slaughter of 19 children in a Texas elementary school tells us about the real role of American policing.

And then we're joined by historian and author Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz to talk about the real history of the 2nd Amendment. Dunbar-Ortiz is the author of Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment.
