Episode Details

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, guest Joshua Crawford, an attorney, Young Voices contributor, and head of the Pelican Institute of Louisville, Kentucky joins to talk about President Biden's emphasis on "fund the police" from the State of The Union, how that pushes against the "defund the police" narrative of some in his own party, and the optics and strategy behind this emphasis.

Joshua also talks about how funding alone isn't the answer to public safety questions, and how policing policy, community involvement, accountability, and targeted funding and support are all necessary to fulfill the government's role as provider of public safety
