Why America is REALLY divided and on fire | The Mallen Baker Show

Mallen Baker: Faultlines - A podcast by Mallen Baker

In this round-up of the week, America sees a week of protests and riots and police brutality and political manoeuvring and almost no social distancing. The result of the terrible events that led to the death of George Floyd. What's the unfortunate truth why the protests are possibly going to result in the opposite to what they want? What are President Trump and Joe Biden doing to try to ensure events benefit their campaign for election? And what just happened that means we might get even worse violence further down the road? If you want to solve the problem, you have to know what the problem is. And that’s what we’re getting wrong. Let’s discuss. The Mallen Baker Show is aimed at all people who see themselves as change makers, with commentary on issues and change movements with a particular focus on climate change and environment, social issues, free speech and corporate social responsibility.ReferencesStory about Breonna Taylorhttps://www.vox.com/2020/5/13/21257457/breonna-taylor-louisville-shooting-ahmaud-arbery-justiceforbreStatistics on people shot by police in the UShttps://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/Fatal shootings by police in England and Waleshttps://www.statista.com/statistics/319246/police-fatal-shootings-england-wales/Officer characteristics and racial disparities in fatal officer-involved shootings, Johnson et alhttps://www.pnas.org/content/116/32/15877Channel 4 Fact check – Do more black Americans commit crimes?https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-black-americans-commit-crimeDefinitions 2nd / 3rd degree murder, Minneapolishttps://www.voanews.com/usa/nation-turmoil-george-floyd-protests/what-do-2nd-degree-murder-3rd-degree-murder-manslaughterThe Myth of Systemic Police Racism, Heather MacDonald, WSJhttp://archive.is/OXbjA
