YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThere have been 428 people killed by police already in 2025. And yet, this is not the only way policing is killing us all. Ronica Mukerjee and Carlos Martinez, the authors of “All This Safety Is Killing Us” joined Francesca to explain how over policing is actually making us sicker.
We are living through the backlash to the George Floyd uprisings. This Trump 2.0 regime in many ways is a white supremacist reaction to what little momentum was gained by the Black Lives Matter movement. We are seeing just as much police violence and incarceration as we did prior, especially againsts marginalized communities. Unfortunately, the damage being done goes beyond police shootings.
Studies have shown that people who live in communities that experience over policing have a much higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, and many other chronic illnesses. Men who have been the victims of police violence are three times more likely to experience PTSD. Policing is quite literally making us sick, and is not actually keeping us safer.
Through collecting the first-hand experiences of healthcare workers and clinicians, Carlos and Ronica lay out the case to abolish the prison and policing system and replace it with something that actually contributes to our safety and our health.
