YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNBA legend Shaquille O’Neal just got promoted inside a Georgia sheriff’s office, and Marc Lamont Hill says the real issue isn’t Shaq’s heart, it’s the system he’s helping legitimize.
In this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc breaks down Shaq’s new role with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, why community policing feels good but changes little, and how feel-good reforms can block deeper conversations about abolition, public safety, and life beyond the carceral state.
