It has to be about time we rethink safety and policing, especially in the wake of the George Floyd tragedy. Like so many of us, we know things need to change. But what can we do about it? We grappled with this question and more in a crucial conversation with the thought-provoking documentary filmmaker, Matthew Solomon. His film, Reimagining Safety, challenges us to consider a more humane approach to policing in our communities. Together, we delve into the disturbing reality of over-militarization, the damage caused by societal biases, and the urgent need for police reform.
We don't just stop there; we also take a closer look at the importance of empathy and changing the narrative on "defunding" the police when it is really "reallocating" the police resources in ways that work better for everyone. Especially the police. As we explore the potential implications of this action, Matthew shares his fascinating journey from music school to filmmaking. From his passion for conflict resolution to his understanding of societal structures, we uncover the inspiration behind his impactful work and Rick and Maiya are right there to really help get into it. This episode promises to be a blend of serious discussions, comedic rug-pulling, personal anecdotes, and enlightening insights from a filmmaker at the forefront of social change along with 2 touring musicians trying to make sense of it all.
We also let you in on some secrets from the road with the launch of our new segment "TORROR STORIES!!!". Check out crazy tales from the road from @maiyasykes and @rickbarriodill that you can only get on StP. And finally, we discuss the significance of art and storytelling in driving societal progress. It's a jam-packed episode that we hope will provoke thought, inspire change, make ya laugh and ignite conversations. Reimagine safety with us and tune in, let's explore this together.
