10: Black and Blue

The Talk and Generational Fear of Law Enforcement

The hosts compare their upbringing regarding the police. Adam describes being told to look for an officer if he was ever lost, while Mo explains "The Talk" given to Black children, which emphasizes avoiding police to stay safe. They discuss the "gut physical reaction" triggered by seeing blue lights in a rearview mirror, even when no laws have been broken, and how media coverage exacerbates this fear.
