Summary
Episode 03: The Rise of Superpredator 2.
Episode 3 is about the media narrative surrounding the rise of so-called "gang raids" that have exploded over the past three years. These high-stakes, headline-grabbing spectacles target, almost exclusively, black and brown people and are carried out by hundreds of local, state, and federal officials with little scrutiny from the media.
Our guest: Josmar Trujillo, a Harlem-based organizer, writer, trainer, and agitator.
