How The First Police Went From Gangsters, To An Army For The Rich | BEHIND THE BASTARDS

[@carolinedavis8339]

It's hilarious hearing you two go off about the Pinkerton agency when it just got another big spotlight when they raided a content creator's house who managed to get their hands on some Magic the Gathering cards like, two weeks earlier than most people.

They never should have gotten rid of Booker DeWitt

56:11 "You could, like use it for good." I remember during the George Floyd protests my mother, a tiny 60 year old Italian woman, went to every one she could. She told me that she had an obligation to stand between her black neighbors and the cops because "I know they won't shoot me as fast as they will anyone who doesn't have my skin tone."

[@stinkytoy]

Damn, that is fuckin tight. Please tell Mama Rezix that the degree of courage and solidarity she demonstrated in that crucial period make her cool as hell ✊🏼

It would be awesome if you guys kept covering anything new from this!!!

[@mikeschenk4730]

I am definitely a fan of the idea of looking back and fixing things you do to make them better. Most organizations absolutely do not do this.

[@burneternally]

Are the Pinkertons still around? Why yes they are! They're now known as Securitas.

[@overlordcacius]

That pinkerton story made my day

[@stinkytoy]

I know haha same here. They thought they were gonna pull a Tom Hanks on Omaha Beach, but instead were pinned down in the surf by a hail of bullets, the occasional cannonball, and a flaming railcar or two, until they were finally permitted to surrender hahaha.

I live in the PA town where the first police barracks were established and still running. Greensburg. Our chief got arrested for drug running a year or 2 back

1:10:08 that’s just Aragorn and the army of the dead defeating the men of the East

The tramp laws reminds me of ugly laws

[@function0077]

I'm white. We have more contraband in our cars because we are less afraid of consequences.

[@Mordakar]

Well god dammit, which one is the first one?

[@stinkytoy]

Scroll through their videos till you get somewhere in the "5 months ago" releases, and you'll find this batch of police videos. This video is the second one, and the first one is called "Slavery, Mass Murder, and the Birth of American Policing" It's a shame that these dont have "part X" in their names like most of the other series. Sigh. Same deal with the ones on ben shapiro's awful book. Oh well, they're free haha.

[@stinkytoy]

I am relistening to this series, and it turns out that a bunch of other users have created public playlists of the videos in order. They still link directly to the BtB videos, they aren't reuploads or stolen content. It's how I'm listening to them right now.

1:10:47 yinz gahna go dahn there and see the war

[@Nubleborsky]

Glass-gao Scotland lol. It's pronounced glaz-go

[@jonathanvilleneuve5766]

"inlove the irish culture, deinking, fighting and slurs" -prop. Sounds familiar?

[@William-Morey-Baker]

is it just me or does it feel like Propa's interjections were particularly random and disconnected from the topic... like, he manages to bring it back around most of the time, but like... damn, talking about the Irish out of nowhere and then randomly comparing your wife going through child birth to the difference between black and irish suffering... just odd.😊

[@richardmurie9592]

Analogy made sense to me :) Also "politics is just gang banging..." ❤ from Britain, run by the same crime family since 1066.

[@Ennead13x]

It's just you. They literally ARE talking about the Irish in this episode, and the pregnancy analogy makes sense as a comparison of the scale of effect.
