The episode features journalist Philip O'Connor discussing violence and justice, particularly in relation to policing and systemic racism.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Journalist in Stockholm, Philip O'Connor, is a long-time Brazilian Jiujitsu practitioner. So when he wrote his piece below, On Violence, and outlined the hard reality of what took place on Henry Street, we decided we'd have a wider conversation about it all. Philip ties together all of the strands from policing, to security, to media framing and to systemic racism. Do listen.
