On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to William Robinson, author of ‘The Global Police State’. He discusses how capitalism’s crises have fuelled the rise of the global police state, the drastic inequality and poverty that has become a theme of modern capitalism which necessitates the global police state, whether there is class warfare on the poor, the growing industry of militarism and oppression and much more! Finally we speak to Ken Fero, director of the film ‘Ultraviolence’ which explores police brutality and killings in the UK. He discusses the shocking statistic that since 1969, there have been over 2000 police deaths in the UK, why warfare abroad cannot be divorced from policing at home, the issue of race in police brutality in Britain, the UK’s justice system compared to the US system regarding prosecuting police who have killed people and much more.
