YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCivil rights and criminal defense attorneys Michael Bloch and Ben White join Bad Faith to discuss the viral on camera fatal beating of prisoner Robert Brooks at the Marcy Correctional Facility in central New York, and a similar case their law firm, Bloch & White, is handling involving a non-fatal beating. How has advocacy for criminal justice reform changed since the BLM era, and do what extent did Democratic leadership fail the moment? Is there any optimism that liberals will recommit to the criminal justice commitments they claimed to espouse during Trump's first term now that he's returning to the White House? Or does the choice of blue state liberals like Kathy Hochul to run to the right on these issues portend a further shift to the right over the next four years? Also, did the left bring this rightward shift on itself by not taking crime concerns seriously (a la Ana Kasparian's argument)? Or is something else at play?
