kind of like conventional gag because of
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
the movie fight club but Davey actually
[TS]
00:07:52

[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
good talk about the easement for how
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
could we should talk about my plan for
[TS]
00:35:50
◼
►
the police
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
you're all under arrest I have a very
[TS]
00:35:55
◼
►
good plan for the police
[TS]
00:35:57
◼
►
haha no really do you know we talked
[TS]
00:36:00
◼

about the police not very long ago yeah
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
we got a lot of nice feedback about that
[TS]
00:36:03
◼
►
i have a pea that but but strangely none
[TS]
00:36:07
◼
►
from police fraternal organizations
[TS]
00:36:11
◼
►
but my plan my plan for the police for
[TS]
00:36:13
◼
►
Seattle and I think this i think this
[TS]
00:36:15
◼
►
will work all across the country is I
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
think part of the problem of the
[TS]
00:36:19
◼
►
militarization of the police has been
[TS]
00:36:21
◼
►
the suburbanization of the police the
[TS]
00:36:25
◼
►
cops when you when you when you talk to
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
any individual Cobb the cops and the
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
firemen all live in the suburbs now
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
they didn't get away from the crime
[TS]
00:36:36
◼
►
exactly they pursue the American Dream
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
and cop culture and firemen culture is
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
suburbanite culture which is
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
intrinsically suspicious of people who
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
live in the city and you know and it
[TS]
00:36:51
◼
►
fosters a kind of racist like outer rain
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
contempt and dislike for poor people and
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
people who live in town and so my plan
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
for the for the modernization and like
[TS]
00:37:08
◼
►
read integration of the cops is that
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
every city should build a police academy
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
in the heart of town room because the
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
magnet school kind of thing right
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
exactly like I think part of the problem
[TS]
00:37:22
◼
►
with the cops too is that we've started
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
to think about police as being a job
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
that requires a four-year degree and
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
this is this is a subset of a larger
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
problem which is the inflation the
[TS]
00:37:34
◼
►
four-year degree inflation we're now
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
like if you want to if you want to
[TS]
00:37:40
◼
►
manage a ziebart you have to have a
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
four-year degree like if you want to if
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
you want to be the person in charge of
[TS]
00:37:50
◼
►
the Froyo machine at the at the cold
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
stone creamery after four year degree if
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
you want anything that requires a key
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
right pretty much you won't ever bring
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
your keys and just anything like we're
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
let you have anything that isn't like
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
when i worked at McDonald's and there's
[TS]
00:38:08
◼
►
a button you hit that within which means
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
i put the meat down and we'll tell you
[TS]
00:38:12
◼
►
when it's time to flip it was
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
somersaulted and so on so forth
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
it was actually literally idiot-proof if
[TS]
00:38:16
◼
►
you want a job more than that today you
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
can get a college degree and that's
[TS]
00:38:19
◼
►
really fucked up
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
it's really fucked up because a you
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
don't need a college degree had be also
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
guarantee of anything it's not and then
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
what what that massive influx of people
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
in colleges has done is make colleges
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
worthless like colleges are doing
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
college job now and and and and it
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
became a thing I think it became a thing
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
in the last 50 years that that people in
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
politics were able to say like college
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
we want everyone to have an opportunity
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
to go to college and it was a it was an
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
easy thing to say a harder thing to do
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
but it was a thing that it was a thing
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
in public life that they could direct
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
money and resources and a lot of like a
[TS]
00:39:03
◼
►
lot of glad-handing attention to
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
we're going to make colleges accessible
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
to everyone and so what they did was not
[TS]
00:39:11
◼
►
make a a grand college education
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
accessible to everyone they just make
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
college stupid so that everybody could
[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
get into it and so my thinking is one of
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
the things that we don't need is cops
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
that went to college
[TS]
00:39:25
◼
►
really they don't need to go to college
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
they need to go to a great police
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
academy right a curriculum / me huh
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
would be with the police academy located
[TS]
00:39:40
◼
►
in the center of town in the heart of
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
town so that every day you see the young
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
police treat trainees in there
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
what I would hope would be like easter
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
egg colored sweats and they're running
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
up and they're doing their calisthenics
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
and you're starting out with a little
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
bit of humility is that the idea you
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
know what I mean breaking down to earth
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
they're running around the town they're
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
doing a literal funny years with a badge
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
on them they're doing they're doing
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
their pull-ups or whatever in the bus
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
stations and we and we all get to see
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
the young tops and training and they are
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
living with us and their dormitories are
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
right there in the town and so by the
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
time I by the time a young police person
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
an aspiring police person graduates to
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
become a badge officer
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
they are inculcated in the language and
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
culture of the city they intend to
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
police there already and a resident of
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
an urban neighborhood that's right they
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
live in the town and they are their
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
members of the town and they have
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
trained in the town so they're not out
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
at some firing range boot camp out in
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
BFE right and they're not they're not
[TS]
00:40:56
◼
►
being indoctrinated into a culture that
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
lives outside of the city and is and is
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
inherently hostile to the city so
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
interesting because it really is it's
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
like something from a Bruce Lee movie
[TS]
00:41:06
◼
►
where you go to this almost like this
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
guarded temple and everything happens in
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
private be very interesting to have
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
something not just on honestly not just
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
in into like embarrassed people or
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
something but be kind of interesting to
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
have in the middle of the city and where
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
people could observe it while it's
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
happening exactly by transparency
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
because the concept of policing is is
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
very very basic like the cops themselves
[TS]
00:41:28
◼
►
are not do not have power their power is
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
the power that we grab them to police us
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
because we need it because we are big
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
monkeys and so we say collectively yes
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
we need someone to call we need to we
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
need to put somebody in a position where
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
we can call them and we need help and
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
these are the people who you know we're
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►

00:43:54
◼

experience that I've had my whole life
[TS]
00:43:56
◼

even even during the many years when I

years when I was like when I was
[TS]
00:44:22
◼

socially hostile to the cops as part of
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
my rock and roll under underbelly like I
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
also understood very clearly that
[TS]
00:44:32
◼
►
recourse to the law was a thing that
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►
what was a was not a right but that it
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
it it involved it was it was a
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
participatory
[TS]
00:44:43
◼
►
aspect of citizenship and if you were
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
ever going to call the cops you had
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
better also hold up your end of the
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
bargain by being a like for the most
[TS]
00:44:55
◼
►
part law abiding and a citizen and and
[TS]
00:44:58
◼
►
the and the contempt i have for most
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
people is the selective citizenship
[TS]
00:45:03
◼
►
words like they call the cops and the
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
fire department when they need help but
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
then they refused to pay their taxes or
[TS]
00:45:09
◼
►
they're both they're you know they're
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
bullies or they are greedy or they are
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
cheaters in every other aspect of expect
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
they expect to be extraordinarily
[TS]
00:45:19
◼
►
protected by the police what other
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
people are basically exposed to whatever
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
kind of Russia kicking punk flipping
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
bullshit people feel like doing on a
[TS]
00:45:27
◼
►
given Saturday night
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
right right i mean isn't that kind of it
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
that's the real inequality in some ways
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
is I get extraordinary protection
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
because of this and you get treated that
[TS]
00:45:35
◼
►
way because well because of that right
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
and and what and I guess the what was
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
happening to me the other day the brain
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
flip that I was experiencing was I was
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
sitting here teaching my daughter this
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
thing that I feel is fundamental which
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
is the police and fire departments are
[TS]
00:45:52
◼
►
there to help you and then I reflected
[TS]
00:45:55
◼
►
upon the fact that there are large
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
communities of citizens in my own City
[TS]
00:46:01
◼
►
who do not see the police that way and
[TS]
00:46:04
◼
►
that the father's in those communities
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
are forced to teach their daughters a
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
healthy suspicion of the police like be
[TS]
00:46:16
◼
►
careful around the police is kind of the
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
gentlest way that they probably have to
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
describe it and I'm sure there are
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
plenty of families where the lesson from
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
a very young ages avoid the police at
[TS]
00:46:29
◼
►
all costs like the police are not your
[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►
friends the police will hurt you if they
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
get a chance to see a kind of a kind of
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
them sleeping giant like the right don't
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
don't just better better to just go take
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
care of this yeah because executive
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
consequences way beyond getting your
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
redress if you have problems call a
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
family member call you know like run to
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
someone who looks like us but whatever
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
you do do not attract the attention of
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
the police because it never ends well
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
and to imagine to imagine you know
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
myself sharing a city and a culture and
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
anna and a civic life with with groups
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
of fellow Americans who do not have the
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
same recourse to the law and do not feel
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
this do not feel that the police are
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
there to help them in my hand and as as
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
my daughter gets older I will for sure
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
say like don't mouth off to the police
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
the police are the police are idiots
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
let's be honest like they are typically
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
24 year olds with criminal justice
[TS]
00:47:31
◼
►
degrees who have been who are in culture
[TS]
00:47:36
◼
►
rated to be unreflecting with father
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
issues right there like I'm going to
[TS]
00:47:42
◼
►
think that sometimes like you I
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
absolutely they're there they're working
[TS]
00:47:46
◼
►
out something way beyond criminal
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
justice right now
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
well and the and the problem is that
[TS]
00:47:49
◼
►
within the culture that is teaching them
[TS]
00:47:52
◼
►
and training them that is encouraged you
[TS]
00:47:54
◼
►
know that their lieutenants and their
[TS]
00:47:56
◼
►
captains also have not been fully
[TS]
00:48:00
◼
►
culture ated they have a they've been
[TS]
00:48:03
◼
►
allowed to maintain its the problem with
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
the CIA the CIA isn't is somewhat an
[TS]
00:48:10
◼
►
independent organization and the prayer
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
and they nominally answer to the
[TS]
00:48:14
◼
►
president but in fact presidents come
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
and go and the CIA remains and so the
[TS]
00:48:22
◼
►
CIA is not and does not feel answerable
[TS]
00:48:24
◼
►
to anybody and it maintains this inner
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
culture that over time has become
[TS]
00:48:31
◼
►
infected and now CIA is separate from
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
the the separate from the balance of
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
power that keeps our governments table
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
and and they become and and then they
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
end up as a rogue organization and to
[TS]
00:48:51
◼
►
bring them to heel requires it like an
[TS]
00:48:53
◼
►
incredible amount of will from the
[TS]
00:48:56
◼
►
Congress and and the executive and it's
[TS]
00:48:59
◼
►
a it's it's will bit so do they sell
[TS]
00:49:02
◼
►
them Express you know and and it's going
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
to take a certain amount of what feels
[TS]
00:49:05
◼
►
like futzing around where rather just
[TS]
00:49:07
◼
►
waiting for something
[TS]
00:49:08
◼
►
it's a huge problem that now we have to
[TS]
00:49:09
◼
►
cover up or whatever to have an ongoing
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
and get that were transparency and
[TS]
00:49:14
◼
►
ongoing sense that like we need to
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►
really know what's happening and we need
[TS]
00:49:17
◼
►
to tell people what's happening and we
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
need to make sure that it's what we told
[TS]
00:49:20
◼
►
people was going to happen right and
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
there needs to be actual effective
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
oversight civilian oversight of these
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
Affairs that is that is 100-percent like
[TS]
00:49:30
◼
►
a it is not it is not sufficient that
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
your organization investigate itself and
[TS]
00:49:37
◼
►
declare that you that you have I mean
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
this happens in the Seattle Police
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
Department all the time it happens in
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
the CIA all the time right let's look
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
for security reasons we can't show you
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
what the results are but we'll just tell
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
you turned out great
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
yeah we did an investigation of that
[TS]
00:49:50
◼
►
thing and we do is we determined that
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
everybody acted properly and except for
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
there was one thing that we could have
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
done better and the appropriate measures
[TS]
00:49:57
◼
►
were taken and it's just like okay no no
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
no and and two to fire everybody is to
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
just to fire everybody the top is to
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
just then promote the lieutenant's up
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
who raised in the same in the same so
[TS]
00:50:16
◼
►
what a terrible stuff that I'm and that
[TS]
00:50:17
◼
►
is that if you think about it that this
[TS]
00:50:19
◼
►
problem is so out of control that I
[TS]
00:50:21
◼
►
can't manage anymore so i have to fire
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
everyone and start over but also that
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
well say anything like that be
[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
acceptable right and and the only reason
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
that the only reason that we're in that
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
situation is that these organizations
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
continue to recruit and and
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
indoctrinated generation after
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
generation into this into what is
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
essentially like an 11
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►
they are an unbeaten hold and culture
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
anyway so my plan for the my plan
[TS]
00:50:49
◼
►
long-term for urban police departments
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
is to reintegrate them into urban life
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
and novel and and and ultimately like if

00:50:58
◼
►

[TS]
00:51:27
◼

ways fundamental I have a good friend
