	9:04am David (in London): Hey Handy, Snoochie, Jennica.
	9:04am MeMo BoingBoing: Troubled times call for Trouble.
	9:05am Snoochienucci: Hey David! How are things by you? Has any bountiful harvesting been done on the garden yet?
	9:05am melinda: Good morning friends.
	9:07am YETI BOB: more utopia, more visions. thanks trouble for the beauty. went to a protest yesterday for the first time in a long time. felt good to be out there with the people instead of just looking at pictures and feeling isolated.
	9:07am Mike & Dusty: here for this
	9:07am Bill W: Greetings from a bedbound binge breakfaster, all ye.
	9:08am David (in London): Snoochie - The mint plant is really going for it now, so I'm hoping to do something with that at some stage. I dug out a small, dead woody shrub the other day and it was like a fight to death. I felt like I was losing at one stage, but I managed to turn it around and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. How's yourself? Hey Melinda and Yeti Bob.
	9:08am Jennica: David (iL)! Yay!
	9:10am SHAGALOV: GOOD MORNING TROUBLE! Morning everyone!
	9:10am Magda: Good Morning Modern World Citizens
	9:10am Handy Haversack: Yeti Bob, same here, same thing. But today ... I don't know. I see a lot of loss coming. The cops here are so bloodthirsty. Having some trouble seeing good futures, I guess. Glad to have gone out. Can't do it again today, but might be able to tomorrow. But WOW was being in a crowd a weird feeling!
	9:11am Your Ace From Exchange Place: Good morning!
	9:13am Magda: I thought for a second the Don Cherry you played was somehow related to the Canadian Hockey Comentator, and I was wondering how his loud suits related to his love for deep jazz tracks....realizing now two TOTALLY different Don Cherries
	9:14am Stanley: Hi Trouble, Troubled and not-so Troubled. Handy - I've been watching what's going on in the US and it's so surreal, the crowds.
	9:15am Trouble: good morning bill w, good cheer to you!
	9:15am Snoochienucci: Nice David, sounds like a well fought victory to me. Things are good by me, nice day out today. Trying to crunch out some work this AM so I have an easy afternoon, but well see how it goes.
	9:15am ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.Another day,another Trouble.Keep safe people.JobLess.
	9:16am David (in London): Hi Stanley and ami ad
	9:18am MeMo BoingBoing: Killing me softly with these songs.
	9:19am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and tribe. The warm sunshine of a new day is upon us.
	9:19am Crudbringer: hey Trouble & guys of all genders, I brought some crud to share.
	9:21am Jennica: @Handy, Good points. I can only imagine how odd it would feel to be in a crowd, given the current tension, and distancing even from our last memories and experiences of being physically close to others, not to mention how odd it feels to wear a bra, make-up, jewelry, or shoes. I might slightly embellish for the sake of reinforcing the point. @KFHP - Love it! Thank you. @Crud - Hi, Crud.
	9:21am David (in London): My tomato and crud sandwich has been on hold for hours awaiting fresh supplies. Thank Heaven you've arrived Crudbringer.
	9:22am David (in London): Jennica - Shoes? Those are those weird things in the hallway, yes?
	9:23am Handy Haversack: Oooo, fresh crud! Perfect! @Jennica, I forwent the bra and jewelry, and my makeup was a mask, but otherwise: exactly!
	9:23am Crudbringer: I have raw crudites, pickled crud, jerked crud pemmican, deep-fried crud, sauteed crud, and this hot-n-zesty crud that I blasted with donkey sauce using a machine I built from bicycle parts and an old washing machine.
	9:24am Dances with Moomins: Hello DJ Trouble and hello to the Modernists the world over. In hope the current moment of protest actually is the turning point for we the people. Thanks Trouble for the serenity and this unity for the diverse.
	9:24am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers.
	9:24am Jennica: @ David (iL) - yeah, you know, the dog toys.
	9:27am Threemoons: @Crud, thanks, also I guess you're the one who dumped all of this Crud in my Inbox at work...sigh....so I guss today I'll be eating crud, crud and eggs, crud and sausages, crud, sausages and eggs, crud, eggs, and beans on toast, crud, crud, eggs, and crud, Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top, and crud.
	9:28am Pale Son: Alice making me cry over here. Finding all this upheaval incredibly stressful, as hopeful for change as it's also making me. And the knowledge that I'm in a position of incredible privilege and can't even imagine how much more stressful it must be for POC only makes it work.
	9:29am ami ad: No crud jerky?
	9:29am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble & Modernaires!
	9:29am Pale Son: *worse
	9:29am listener james from westwood: Wish the FCC allowed his "I Woke Up in a Fucked-Up America"!
	9:31am Crudbringer: god if only anything would change. if only it would. please.
	9:32am Jennica: pickleball!
	9:32am Crudbringer: @ami I mentioned the bisq^H^H^H^H pemmican.
	9:32am YETI BOB: Pale Son: Heavy times indeed. I haven't ever felt like this before, in 50+ years of living in this crazy country.
	9:32am duke: This is a great set
	9:33am Stanley: @ Pale Son: It breaks my heart, too. But I am hopeful for a kinder world.
	9:33am Handy Haversack: @Trouble: Kate made a list of racial protest songs for a music class she's the teaching artist for with NYC HS kids. Do you have any interest in seeing it? I could paste it in here or e-mail to you.
	9:36am Stanley: @Threemoons: Lobster's orf. Only crud.
	9:36am WoodsOfNH: @listener james Word! I saw Lonnie a few years ago. Quite a beautiful experience.
	9:37am Trouble: we are having some tech problems with loading songs into accuplaylist, sorry.
	9:37am ami ad: @Crudbringer:My bad,not a foodie,an american.
	9:37am Webhamster Henry: A Lonnie Supreme.
	9:38am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Comment posting also got hung up for a minute. Also, I had a clicky-star just spin in place instead of highlight. Weird!
	9:39am Crudbringer: Yeah, what Woods just said.
	9:39am YETI BOB: Sounds like the computer is just a bit overloaded. Trouble, you are doing a fantastic job! Great show today!!!
	9:39am Stanley: And I've lost my Cat
	9:39am Irene Trudel: @listener james, Lonnie's album 'MITH' with that piece is on Bandcamp. Fees are waived on Friday the 5th, so I suggest getting a copy and supporting our favorite musicians like Lonnie.
	9:40am Crudbringer: @ami sorry I get touchy b/c sometimes customers confuse the crud jerky with the Jamaican jerked crud and they're all like I DIDN'T ORDER THIS and I'm just like _le sigh_
	9:40am Irene Trudel: Aww, so sorry @Stanley!
	9:41am duke: @Stanley So sorry. I know what it's like. My dear cat Gizmo died 2 weeks ago. Still mourning.
	9:41am Stanley: @Irene - I only meant my avatar on the comments box. Part of the gitchy thing going n.
	9:41am Irene Trudel: There may have been a momentary WFMU server problem. I had been updating a playlist and everything suddenly timed out. seems to be back now.
	9:41am βrian: Day 80 and it's a beautiful morning on the isthmus. Some pics of downtown Madison: imgur.com...
	9:42am Trouble: yeah, there were some problems@ irene...i can get in now, couldn't for a while
	9:42am David (in London): Stanley, sorry to hear that mate. Crudbringer - Don't worry, I've always thought that the post sales customer support at CrudR is excellent.
	9:42am Jeezuseffinchrist: like this, reminds me a bit of Mary J
	9:42am ami ad: @Crudbringer:I feel you,and appreciate all you do.It's tuff out there.
	9:42am WoodsOfNH: My Bandcamp want list is frightfully long. May have to take the whole day off just to make purchases.
	9:42am βrian: I hope it wasn't a Denial of Truth attack on the WFMU servers.
	9:43am alanr: Inspire us, Trouble, to find a moment a peace in the morning, before many of us take to the streets again and again for justice. Saludos from Mexico City. We're having a candlelight vigil tonight in front of the US embassy.
	9:43am Stanley: duke: sorry to hear of Gizmo. Great name. Cats are wonderful companions.
	9:44am Snoochienucci: ahhhhh the birdies, im somehow not ashamed to say, one of the best parts of my week.
	9:44am TDK60: Good morning.
	9:44am Irene Trudel: Oh, I see Stanley. Condolences to you, @Duke on losing your kitty Gizmo. My kitties are my "children" and I know your pain of loss.
	9:45am Handy Haversack: @duke: Many sympathies. It's so very hard. Gracias, @alanr.
	9:45am Irene Trudel: Wow, that was a disjointed sentence. Need more coffee and Trouble.
	9:47am David (in London): Snoochie - I love the birds, too. Hey TDK.
	9:47am ami ad: Blue Balls Matter.
	9:49am ?: Anyone else detect a troll?
	9:49am Panda Penguin: Only just managed to make it, and I'm GUTTED to have missed such an incredible-looking opening set. I did a DIY radio set of my own last night and realised that a good batch of the stuff I played was directly inspired by stuff I was first exposed to on this show. So I just wanted to thank you and WFMU for broadening my horizons over my last few years of listening. x
	9:50am TDK60: Hello David in the Londontown.
	9:50am Itzall Hear: That "?" was I, BTW; I got the alternate "sign in" option before actually signing in.
	9:51am Stanley: Birds are one of my great joys. I'm not a photographer or a spotter but do keep up my membership of the RSPB and the Scottish Seabird Centre and visit regularly. Such marvels of nature.
	9:52am Bill W: let's make sure it doesnt end with voting... or the reforms will be confined to Cops, Shoot for the Legs (D-Dela.).
	9:52am βrian: "Hope is the thing with feathers, " says my cat.
	9:53am βrian: [Via the window, to be specific.]
	9:54am Trouble: yes @handy I would love to! pasting it here is cool, or emailing, your call
	9:55am Stanley: βrian: I'd like to see the cat up against one of our seagulls.
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Will do, Trouble! Let me just edit out the YOuTube links like a good Hurstian. @Stanley: Scottish Seabird Center FTW! Have you ever cruised around the Small Isles? The seabirds are so amazing. Also sea eagles at Mull. Saw a cedar waxwing behind my bldg. the other day, which was quite a high! Thanks for those pix, @βrian. Heat break on the isthmus?
	9:57am Deena: New Kings Democrats was organizing phone calls to repeal NYs article 50-A. If you get in touch with them they will provide you with the phone numbers of your elected officials and a script. You select a time slot so the phone lines aren’t jammed. https://www.newkingsdemocrats.com Trouble please announce if you can.
	9:57am βrian: @Stanley: Oh, I really doubt he would go up against a black-capped chickadee, really. He has a soft touch.
	9:58am David (in London): Stanley - We had a crow in the garden last week who was obviously protecting a freshly hatched brood. The local and cats and foxes were absolutely no match for it, it saw all of them off. At one stage it landed right next to a cat and went for it - the poor moggy turned around and fled PDQ. It was a badass crow.
	9:59am βrian: Corvid 19, yo.
	10:01am βrian: About to make a dash into the on-site office, 80 days on.
	10:01am ami ad: itzall Hear:Is it I the troll?
	10:01am Handy Haversack: (OK, Kate's telling me to stop being a rigid Hurstian and just leave the YouTube links in place in case a teacher does want to use these to spare them the labor. Principles: compromised!) Long post: Spirituals Wade in the Water (this version performed by Sweet Honey in the Rock in 2012) First published in 1901, but before that sung by slaves, exact dates unknown, used as an instruction song by Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, when you waded in the water when running away, dogs were more likely to lose your scent. www.youtube.com... Blues Jim Crow Blues by Lead Belly Blues originated in the South, and began to be popularized in the 1870s. Lead Belly became well-known as a virtuosic 12-string blues guitar player and singer; he was active as a blues musician from 1903-1949. The exact first recording date of "Jim Crow Blues" is unknown, but is estimated around 1930. Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States, beginning in the late 1800s through 1965. www.youtube.com... The Bourgeouis Blues by Lead Belly (has the N-word) Written in June 1937 in response to the discrimination and segregation that Lead Belly faced during a visit to Washington, DC to record for Alan Lomax.

	10:03am ami ad: Major list Handy.
	10:04am Jennica: @Handy: Thank you! Thanks Kate!
	10:04am ottovonbqe: @David - I saw two crows having an all out brawl on the street last year. All the other crows were around watching. They are like the mafia of birds.
	10:04am Trouble: tonight there is a hudson county board of freeholders introduction to candidates via you tube. NEW ideas and progressives! check it here at 7pm www.youtube.com...
	10:05am YETI BOB: I was certain the name was "Leadbelly" but I just learned: 'Though many releases credit him as "Leadbelly", he himself wrote it as "Lead Belly"'
	10:05am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble, tuning in late; I didn’t realise it was Thursday.
	10:07am David (in London): @ottovonbqe - Pretty soon it'll be tapping on the kitchen window and demanding protection money from us...
	10:08am Trouble: that's ok, adrian. your excuse is the world is spinning off orbit
	10:09am Trouble: thanks@ handy, looks great!
	10:10am Handy Haversack: I did, Jennica! I have recommended this book on this and other boards, but: The Wake of Crows by Thom van Dooren. Crows are fascinating and a compelling argument against those who think only humans are sapient. They give gifts, they use tools (incl. fire!!), they mourn their dead.
	10:12am Passaic River Blues: @Handy: that one sounds interesting--I'll have to investigate. Bernd Heinrich's "Mind of the Raven" was an interesting read on a related corvid, the raven.
	10:13am YETI BOB: "Welcome to Earth, home of the great women and men. We are animals that have ideas! Maybe cats and ravens have ideas too, but they keep them to themselves." - Robyn Hitchcock, "Welcome to Earth"
	10:13am David (in London): Handy, I've always been a massive fan of crows for exactly those kinds of reasons. One of my maxims is 'Be nice to a crow. You never know when you might need its good auspices in return.'
	10:14am Jennica: Digging Darondo
	10:16am Slaboch: Darondo Forever! Sounding great Trouble!
	10:17am Handy Haversack: There was a good story in Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2019 about an independent health robot, a crow, and a little girl helping save communities inflicted with poverty from a virus after the U.S. govt. had outsourced all national health matters to Amazon. So it might pay to be nice to them indeed, David!
	10:18am YETI BOB: once i was camping and i roasted some heads of garlic (wrapped in foil) over the campfire. while i was waiting for them to cool off, some ravens swooped in and took them all. corvids are not only smart, apparently they have gourmet taste as well!
	10:21am ottovonbqe: @YETI BOB - perhaps they just wanted the foil
	10:22am Stanley: A seagull snatched a wrapped pasty from a shopping bag as I was unloading the car. Thought okay, you win this time. Then it happened again a few weeks later. Same pie but don't know if it was the same gull or that word had got around for the Saturday morning rip-off chance.
	10:22am Itzall Hear: Crows don't play.
	10:22am TDK60: I know a person who spent 11 years in solitary, a crime against humanity.
	10:22am melinda: @Yeti Bob haha! The memorable time I saw a crow making off with food it was a ziploc bag of cheetos outside a library.
	10:23am Brian D: For those interested: www.theguardian.com...
	10:23am Mike & Dusty: a group of us listeners should go to city hall to protest those very subjects to. “Are you outside agitators? Who sent you??” “TROUBLE SENT US”
	10:24am rabblerabble: Mornin', Trouble. Excellent set so far. Thanks!
	10:24am Itzall Hear: I'll never forget seeing a crow strutting around the parking lot of a McDee's with a single french fry sticking out of his beak like he was smoking. Maybe he was just waiting for a light?
	10:24am Trouble: If you want more information or want to be engaged and volunteer contact groups who are working for policy change: -The NAACP NAACP.org -Southern Poverty Law Center SPLC.org -The Color of Change colorofchange.org -Campaign Zero joincampaignzero.org
	10:24am Polyus: Here in Mpls it has been remarkable to see how quickly a number of entities who contract with the MPD have canceled those contracts. Minneapolis Public Schools, Park Board, Walker Art Center / MIA and so on.
	10:25am YETI BOB: @Trouble: It's amazing to hear the actual numbers. $230M on Police Misconduct cases? Hard to believe. (Another) clear sign that our policies and priorities are all screwed up.
	10:25am TDK60: I'm an outside agitator. I also agitate inside, from home, sometimes.
	10:25am northguineahills: Driving to Georgia for work, thanks for the sounds!
	10:26am Trouble: I got that number from mona chalabi, an amazing journalist who makes fab illustrations to show her point. i follow her on insta, i recommend everyone does
	10:26am Crudbringer: Hello Outside Agitator, I'm a Rootless Cosmopolitan.
	10:27am Listening Out There: ...and I'm a Coastal Elite, tuning in...
	10:29am TDK60: Good news from the City of Brotherly Love: Frank Rizzo's statue has come down.
	10:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Also, those crafty talking magpies, Heckle and Jeckle, always swiping that delicious corn.
	10:30am The Oscar: Been busy working, but WOW this Minnie cover of Respect!! (Also great show top to bottom!)
	10:32am Trouble: amazing segment on what to do with statues that should be torn down art21.org...
	10:33am karlward: I love this station
	10:35am Handy Haversack: @Polyus: The sign Kate (a teacher) carried yesterday urged NYC schools to take a cue from Mpls. and get the cops out of the schools for good.
	10:36am YETI BOB: @Trouble: Thanks for the Mona Chalabi tip, I'm on it. I also saw in today's news that the R.E.Lee statue in Richmond is finally coming down, not a moment too soon.
	10:38am Dances with Moomins: @Polyus. That's very encouraging. Police have disconnected from serving 'we the people'. Hope they get the message . Now the whole world watches. Time for all Americans to vocally, actively repudiate racism. We the people are diverse. WE the people are DIVERSE ! It's obvious, isn't it? And it's time to make institutional, cultural changes ….political changes.
	10:40am Malcolm: yay more sun ra :D still reeling from the sun ra setlast week
	10:43am Trouble: Help send students to college with the United Negro College Fund. UNCF.org Find out more about unjust sentencing habits at Sentencing Project.org
	10:44am WoodsOfNH: @Crudbringer Rootless Cosmopolitan is my favorite Marc Ribot album.
	10:46am Jeezuseffinchrist: yesssss girl, always bust out with Nina
	10:47am WoodsOfNH: OK, I've had my zoom meeting and also started the white cannellini beans. That's enough productivity for one morning. Phew!
	10:48am Phoebe: A stellar listen, as always! Thanks Trouble!
	10:48am karlward: The world wasn't ready for Nina Simone.
	10:49am Dean: I've long been wary of cops and, for that matter, of anybody who irresponsibly embraces authority that is his or hers by virtue of democratic will. But mere repudiation of racism is not enough, and maybe even the wrong tack. See https://nonsite.org/editorial/how-racial-disparity-does-not-help-make-sense-of-patterns-of-police-violence
	10:49am prudy: that's why she moved to France...
	10:55am Jeezy: Wotta world... :-()
	10:55am Jennica: YETI BOB: www.amazon.com...
	10:58am Passaic River Blues: Verso Books is offering free ebook copies of Alex Vitale's "The End of Policing" and David Correia and Tyler Wall's "Police: A Field Guide." Download links: www.versobooks.com... www.versobooks.com...
	11:01am Trouble: thanks for that @prb! libro.fm offers audio books at a comparable price to the amazonking, but you don't pay his highness and you can chose the indy book stores that you buy from. check it out: libro.fm...
	11:02am βrian: Back from the office. It's like a space station there.
	11:05am Dean: Thanks for the Verso titles. See also Frank Zimring's When Police Kill, albeit it's not freely available except from a library: https://alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/just-in/2017-02-21/book-brief-franklin-zimring-s-when-police-kill
	11:06am Jennica: βrian: glad you made it back
	11:07am βrian: Me, too. Especially since I retrieved my good earphones.
	11:09am Dean: Just learned about this, coming on Monday: https://www.law.berkeley.edu/news/livestream-race-and-policing/ The panelists are very impressive. Probably worth folks' time.
	11:12am Trouble: thanks@dean!
	11:13am Carmichael: Heya Trouble and Agitators.
	11:15am Stephanie: As usual, such great rescources being shared here from wfmu folx. Grateful to be tuning in today.
	11:16am cuteCloud: thx 4 the ebook linx , prb!
	11:16am meredith: 45 minutes of Trouble is better than no minutes of Trouble. Morning all. Meetings went long this am. In the auspicious words of King Stevie, "Love is in need of love today." Do what you can and then just a little more <3
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Dean. Still reading the other article you linked to.
	11:17am Itzall Hear: Thank you Trouble, for another insightful, as well as thoroughly entertaining program! This show sure does fly by.
	11:17am YETI BOB: @Jennica: Haha, thanks, that's great! I'll try to see if I can find that somewhere other than Amazon (Bezos is rich enough)
	11:21am Trouble: thanks for your kind words@ itzall hear
	11:22am Jennica: work meeting on deck... Thanks Trouble
	11:23am Ike: This forthcoming book about an attempt to blockade Washington DC seems appropriate to what's happening now: smile.amazon.com... (Remember to choose "Auricle Communications" to benefit WFMU via "Smile" if you buy anything from the... Azamonster? Or do what Trouble said and use your local library.)
	11:23am Adrian in London: I misread this band as ELO and thought, wow, this is a side to Jeff Lynne I didn’t know about
	11:25am MuttonChops: Keep it spinning Trouble!
	11:27am cuteCloud: woo Teaching To Transgress <3
	11:27am Fuzzy: Just hooked up with Verso and downloaded me a Field Guide -- thanks, prb!
	11:28am meredith: might I pile on and recommend Gyasi's spectacular debut Homegoing?
	11:28am happymaan: This is a good book. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:29am Trouble: some reading suggestions The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander Sula by Toni Morrison How to be Anti-racist by Ibram X. Kendi The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead Teaching to Transgress by bell hooks
	11:30am MuttonChops: Thanks! Continue supporting local libraries!
	11:30am Trouble: more great organizations that deserve checking into and supporting: Reclaimtheblock.org Equal Justice Initiative EJI.org Blacklivesmatter.com Black Youth Project 100 BYP100.org civilrights.org
	11:31am Dean: I need to revisit Edmund Morgan's American Slavery, American Freedom, too.
	11:31am TDK60: For background analysis, W.E.B. DuBois.
	11:32am JakeGould: If people want to buy any book and avoid Amazon entirely but want to buy online, here is BookShop.org: bookshop.org Or just search for the book on Bay and buy directly from local bookstores. You need to check who the seller is and many of them are explicit charities, but from my experience few to no Amazon “drop ship” resellers deal with books.
	11:33am sugarwolf: I’m happy to see there have been local protests but many seem to be “but we like the local police!!!” and I don’t know about that.
	11:33am Snoochienucci: I dont mean to over simplify or get political on here (seriously this is my happy place). But how could you possibly put an end to police departments? Who is going to protect people, say in poor neighborhoods, where violence is a problem? Especially when the right to bear arms is also simultaneously talked about being taken away. We have seen recently how much destruction can be caused to both public and private businesses/buildings, (I in no way mean to confuse the people rioting with protestors either). Could you imagine if there were no police to stop some of what has been going on? Meanwhile a store owner also cant defend himself from someone who may be breaking in with a gun pointed at him?
	11:36am Gaylord Fields: Trouble, another WFMU DJ mentioned to me how proud they were to be part of this station during this important moment in time. This program, both on the regular and in particular today, is precisely the sort of thing we were referencing. You walk it like you talk it, and I’m priviliged to call you a colleague and a friend.
	11:36am TDK60: Gotta leave early; thanks Trouble.
	11:36am YETI BOB: I read the Adolph Reed Jr. article and have many criticisms of it. Sure, class is a factor too. But addressing racism is not some kind of distraction, it's vital. Nobody is "demanding ritual declarations that black lives matter". It's the name of a movement, like "Me too". If you don't want to use that phrase, don't use it. The article is full of weird straw-man arguments and cherry-picking of statistics. And his dismissal of Ta-Nehisi Coates for not finishing college is inexecusable, a real cheap shot. Could go on but I'll stop here.
	11:36am ami ad: Courtesy Professionalism Respect,the 3 thing the NYPD does not stand for are written on every cop car.
	11:36am WoodsOfNH: @JakeGould There was a New Yorker article about that a short while back. You can actually create a virtual bookstore with it. I think they talked about one that was named something like "The Bookshop At The End Of The World"
	11:37am JakeGould: “But how could you possibly put an end to police departments?” Our very own Sam Segal explains it well and eloquently on his playlist from last night: www.wfmu.org... “I think the idea of police abolition is that we gradually divest from police, jails, and prisons, and use that money to invest in social services, public infrastructure, and other resources that keep people safe without the involvement of the carceral state. It isn't something that can happen overnight, but I think there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that policing is not an effective strategy for reducing "crime." This interview, and the book "The End of Policing," which it references are good placed to learn more about the concept of police abolition.” “For instance, in a society that doesn't disproportionately invest its resources in police, prisons, and the military, we could provide everyone with housing, health care, education, food, and meaningful work. In that kind of society, I suspect that the incidence of car theft and other property crime would decrease significantly, thereby decreasing the need for a police force to investigate these crimes. This kind of dynamic would snowball over the course of time, leading to the eventual abolition of policing as we know it.”
	11:39am Trouble: awww gaylord! you are making me cry! glad to fly the flag thursday mornings. i am proud of wfmu and what it represents, and that most surely includes you!
	11:40am Gaylord Fields: @Trouble: ✊
	11:41am Gaylord Fields: I wish that fist were darker, but message is still there.
	11:43am Ike: @Snoochie, I had a similar question last night too, and as Jake is pointing out, I thought Sam Segal's responses to me on his playlist were fascinating. I hope it's not all just pie in the sky and that some of it might actually be possible.
	11:44am Snoochienucci: JakeGould, I hear that, and it all sounds very nice and utopian. But idk it seems a little overly hopeful that people wont do the wrong thing when the opportunity is presented to them. "In that kind of society, I suspect that the incidence of car theft and other property crime would decrease significantly" is a HUGE hypothetical to destroy a society over. People of all races, ethnicity and upbringings commit crimes. How many college kids get too drunk and do stupid things? They have opportunities. I mean Donald Trump is rich and all, but he is still greedy and would take from people when he can right?
	11:44am Trouble: exactly@gaylord! x
	11:45am JakeGould: @Snoochienucci: The general idea is that defunding the police and then investing money in current — and even new — social support systems and changing the role of the police in many places such as the U.S. can change things. You know in Japan, police are seen more as a community service and if/when violence happens special officers within the department are the ones that engage the problem? Deconstruct what the police does and reconstruct it into something new. Heck, one can do the same with fire departments: You know how many fire department calls have utterly nothing to do with fires and property but rather heath care with people? Tons! Why does the FDNY have healthcare in their service portfolio? Because you need a pumper truck to arrive if someone breaks a leg? Why are old structures cobbled with tasks that are not their core competency? And to even better understand it look at the different roles U.S. Marshalls, the National Guard, FBI and CIA and such have. They are all ultimately authorities with some kind of weapon right? But none of these groups murder people for selling loose cigarettes or supposedly passing counterfeit $20 bills. Only police departments are endlessly making “mistakes” that kill people so consistently like this.
	11:48am Snoochienucci: @Jake i agree with that last statement completely. Im not saying im against reform in any way. Hell, I have been profiled and "processed" by police myself. But to say things like "abolish police", not saying that is your opinion, is just a ridiculous over simplification
	11:48am ami ad: @JakeGould:Right on.World wide problem.
	11:49am Passaic River Blues: @Snoochi: I would agree a position advocating for immediate abolishment of all law enforcement with absolutely no plan for day-after effects is a pie-in-the-sky argument. But, tacking on to Jake here, there are two parallel and interrelated pathways to reform I've seen discussed: (1) more immediate efforts to "abolish," streamline or completely restructure current department structures with redesigned forces incorporating civilian review and an independent death/force review process baked into the reformed system (e.g., disband redundant forces + import genuine CCRBs directly into PD structure); and (2) a longer term redistribution of state resources to achieve the gradual societal change outlined by Sam Segal and Jake.
	11:50am Gaylord Fields: The police in the 21st century are a paramilitary force, with the “para” dissipating with every rocket launcher it receives in its arsenal. When the only tool you have is a hammer, you treat everything as if it’s a nail.
	11:50am WoodsOfNH: I don't have a lot of hope or these ideas.The U.S. currently can't solve problems with tiny, incremental changes. Big ideas seem impossible. I hate to be so negative about it all.
	11:50am JakeGould: @Gaylord: What would Barney Fife look like in the 21st Century?
	11:52am JakeGould: @WoodsofNH: The most immediate non-incremental thing can be done is simply stop sending surplus military equipment flowing into police departments. You think these cops would be using that gear if they actually had to pay for it?
	11:52am Gaylord Fields: @Jake: He’d be issued one shell for his grenade launcher. Watch out, Otis!
	11:52am Dean: YETI BOB: I hear you. Intentionally or not, Reed is being provocative. But I think it's worth noting that the comment about Coates was in a footnote excursus rant about anti-racist ad hominem argument. Moreover, Reed isn't suggesting race isn't a "factor." He's pointing out that you can't explain the incidence of violence purely in terms of race. Zimring also relies on statistics to make his argument, and in much greater detail. Simply put, it's complicated, and race is but one factor. (Zimring also proposes ways to adjust the culture of policing that are at least plausibly practical.)
	11:54am Gaylord Fields: Race is often a shorthand for class, until someone develops a gizmo you point at someone that tells you their FICO score.
	11:54am JakeGould: @Snoochienucci: Because shouting “Defund the Police” or “Demilitarize the Police” sounds ridiculous and non threatening. You say “Abolish Police” and that sends a strong message to everyone including the police who — let’s face it — have very secure financial plans for life thanks to their jobs. Once you are in a career service job like that you will never feel financial pain even if you murder someone. That is one hell of a gig because even U.S. military don’t have anything like that.
	11:54am Trouble: thanks for all your support today and please continue the conversation: look up these groups and programs that are trying to change society. support their efforts, be kind to your neighbor. and that means standing up for those who can't
	11:54am Polyus: The other night I was watching a piece on local news about Guard troops deployed to help a looted local grocery store reopen were being treated like stars by the residents. People were apparently asking some of these soldiers if they could stay after this is all over - an attempt at feel-good reporting, sure, but it says something that the community’s relationship with the Minneapolis PD is that bad.
	11:54am Snoochienucci: @PassaicRB hear that and also agree. I guess for me its really a matter of reform. I just dont like those trigger words that oversimplfy things like "abolish police", is good for public discussion in anyway. Cops are people too, there are good cops, there are cops that want the best for their community. I dont think your average cop wants to go out and kill his citizen. Anyway that's the end of the politics for me. Love you all!
	11:54am ami ad: Thank you D.J. for bringing up important issues on air and comments board.Thanks all.Keep safe.JobLess.
	11:54am JakeGould: Thank you Trouble for being you!
	11:55am Snoochienucci: Thanks Trouble! Awesome show as always
	11:56am Marley P. Dogg: Thanks for the great show today Trouble! Be well everyone
	11:56am listener 126464: Thank you Trouble.
	11:57am JakeGould: Also, please blame the resurgence in super hero films that endlessly play to the idea that any one of use can be “violent gods” that bring order to the world. As much as I liked Iron Man as a kid, eff all of those movies that glorify a billionaire defense contractor. Screw the MCU and the DCU for infecting kids minds. The films are more pervasive than the comic books.
	11:57am Irene Trudel: Thanks for all this beautiful music, Trouble!
	11:57am YETI BOB: @Dean: I don't have any beef with you and I don't want to get into any arguments here. Just registering my strong objection to Reed's arguments and general tone. It was provocative - it provoked disapproval from me.
	11:58am Fuzzy: Thanks Trouble!
	11:58am Farmer Rye in Santa Cruz: thank you for the support and resources. ACAB
	11:58am Tamar: Great show, Trouble!
	11:58am JakeGould: Thank you again and again and again Trouble.
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:59am Snoochienucci: @JakeGould BTW i didnt mean to direct any of that right at you or make it seem like i was being argumentative. Happy to have a meaningful conversation!
	12:00pm YETI BOB: My favorite radio show of the week - and that's saying a lot, WFMU has some great shows. Thanks to Trouble and all WFMU crew!
	12:00pm Snoochienucci: Thanks again Trouble! See ya next week!
	12:00pm Mike & Dusty: I love a resource that swings, thank you again Trouble
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: Shoot! I was away from the keyboard at the end. Thanks, Trouble. Really lifted me up -- again.
	9:34am Joe: Thanks for introducing me to Lonnie Holley. Amazing.

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	9:05am Snoochienucci: Hey David! How are things by you? Has any bountiful harvesting been done on the garden yet?
	9:05am melinda: Good morning friends.
	9:07am YETI BOB: more utopia, more visions. thanks trouble for the beauty. went to a protest yesterday for the first time in a long time. felt good to be out there with the people instead of just looking at pictures and feeling isolated.
	9:07am Mike & Dusty: here for this
	9:07am Bill W: Greetings from a bedbound binge breakfaster, all ye.
	9:08am David (in London): Snoochie - The mint plant is really going for it now, so I'm hoping to do something with that at some stage. I dug out a small, dead woody shrub the other day and it was like a fight to death. I felt like I was losing at one stage, but I managed to turn it around and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. How's yourself? Hey Melinda and Yeti Bob.
	9:08am Jennica: David (iL)! Yay!
	9:10am SHAGALOV: GOOD MORNING TROUBLE! Morning everyone!
	9:10am Magda: Good Morning Modern World Citizens
	9:10am Handy Haversack: Yeti Bob, same here, same thing. But today ... I don't know. I see a lot of loss coming. The cops here are so bloodthirsty. Having some trouble seeing good futures, I guess. Glad to have gone out. Can't do it again today, but might be able to tomorrow. But WOW was being in a crowd a weird feeling!
	9:11am Your Ace From Exchange Place: Good morning!
	9:13am Magda: I thought for a second the Don Cherry you played was somehow related to the Canadian Hockey Comentator, and I was wondering how his loud suits related to his love for deep jazz tracks....realizing now two TOTALLY different Don Cherries
	9:14am Stanley: Hi Trouble, Troubled and not-so Troubled. Handy - I've been watching what's going on in the US and it's so surreal, the crowds.
	9:15am Trouble: good morning bill w, good cheer to you!
	9:15am Snoochienucci: Nice David, sounds like a well fought victory to me. Things are good by me, nice day out today. Trying to crunch out some work this AM so I have an easy afternoon, but well see how it goes.
	9:15am ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.Another day,another Trouble.Keep safe people.JobLess.
	9:16am David (in London): Hi Stanley and ami ad
	9:18am MeMo BoingBoing: Killing me softly with these songs.
	9:19am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and tribe. The warm sunshine of a new day is upon us.
	9:19am Crudbringer: hey Trouble & guys of all genders, I brought some crud to share.
	9:21am Jennica: @Handy, Good points. I can only imagine how odd it would feel to be in a crowd, given the current tension, and distancing even from our last memories and experiences of being physically close to others, not to mention how odd it feels to wear a bra, make-up, jewelry, or shoes. I might slightly embellish for the sake of reinforcing the point. @KFHP - Love it! Thank you. @Crud - Hi, Crud.
	9:21am David (in London): My tomato and crud sandwich has been on hold for hours awaiting fresh supplies. Thank Heaven you've arrived Crudbringer.
	9:22am David (in London): Jennica - Shoes? Those are those weird things in the hallway, yes?
	9:23am Handy Haversack: Oooo, fresh crud! Perfect! @Jennica, I forwent the bra and jewelry, and my makeup was a mask, but otherwise: exactly!
	9:23am Crudbringer: I have raw crudites, pickled crud, jerked crud pemmican, deep-fried crud, sauteed crud, and this hot-n-zesty crud that I blasted with donkey sauce using a machine I built from bicycle parts and an old washing machine.
	9:24am Dances with Moomins: Hello DJ Trouble and hello to the Modernists the world over. In hope the current moment of protest actually is the turning point for we the people. Thanks Trouble for the serenity and this unity for the diverse.
	9:24am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers.
	9:24am Jennica: @ David (iL) - yeah, you know, the dog toys.
	9:27am Threemoons: @Crud, thanks, also I guess you're the one who dumped all of this Crud in my Inbox at work...sigh....so I guss today I'll be eating crud, crud and eggs, crud and sausages, crud, sausages and eggs, crud, eggs, and beans on toast, crud, crud, eggs, and crud, Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top, and crud.
	9:28am Pale Son: Alice making me cry over here. Finding all this upheaval incredibly stressful, as hopeful for change as it's also making me. And the knowledge that I'm in a position of incredible privilege and can't even imagine how much more stressful it must be for POC only makes it work.
	9:29am ami ad: No crud jerky?
	9:29am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble & Modernaires!
	9:29am Pale Son: *worse
	9:29am listener james from westwood: Wish the FCC allowed his "I Woke Up in a Fucked-Up America"!
	9:31am Crudbringer: god if only anything would change. if only it would. please.
	9:32am Jennica: pickleball!
	9:32am Crudbringer: @ami I mentioned the bisq^H^H^H^H pemmican.
	9:32am YETI BOB: Pale Son: Heavy times indeed. I haven't ever felt like this before, in 50+ years of living in this crazy country.
	9:32am duke: This is a great set
	9:33am Stanley: @ Pale Son: It breaks my heart, too. But I am hopeful for a kinder world.
	9:33am Handy Haversack: @Trouble: Kate made a list of racial protest songs for a music class she's the teaching artist for with NYC HS kids. Do you have any interest in seeing it? I could paste it in here or e-mail to you.
	9:36am Stanley: @Threemoons: Lobster's orf. Only crud.
	9:36am WoodsOfNH: @listener james Word! I saw Lonnie a few years ago. Quite a beautiful experience.
	9:37am Trouble: we are having some tech problems with loading songs into accuplaylist, sorry.
	9:37am ami ad: @Crudbringer:My bad,not a foodie,an american.
	9:37am Webhamster Henry: A Lonnie Supreme.
	9:38am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Comment posting also got hung up for a minute. Also, I had a clicky-star just spin in place instead of highlight. Weird!
	9:39am Crudbringer: Yeah, what Woods just said.
	9:39am YETI BOB: Sounds like the computer is just a bit overloaded. Trouble, you are doing a fantastic job! Great show today!!!
	9:39am Stanley: And I've lost my Cat
	9:39am Irene Trudel: @listener james, Lonnie's album 'MITH' with that piece is on Bandcamp. Fees are waived on Friday the 5th, so I suggest getting a copy and supporting our favorite musicians like Lonnie.
	9:40am Crudbringer: @ami sorry I get touchy b/c sometimes customers confuse the crud jerky with the Jamaican jerked crud and they're all like I DIDN'T ORDER THIS and I'm just like _le sigh_
	9:40am Irene Trudel: Aww, so sorry @Stanley!
	9:41am duke: @Stanley So sorry. I know what it's like. My dear cat Gizmo died 2 weeks ago. Still mourning.
	9:41am Stanley: @Irene - I only meant my avatar on the comments box. Part of the gitchy thing going n.
	9:41am Irene Trudel: There may have been a momentary WFMU server problem. I had been updating a playlist and everything suddenly timed out. seems to be back now.
	9:41am βrian: Day 80 and it's a beautiful morning on the isthmus. Some pics of downtown Madison: imgur.com...
	9:42am Trouble: yeah, there were some problems@ irene...i can get in now, couldn't for a while
	9:42am David (in London): Stanley, sorry to hear that mate. Crudbringer - Don't worry, I've always thought that the post sales customer support at CrudR is excellent.
	9:42am Jeezuseffinchrist: like this, reminds me a bit of Mary J
	9:42am ami ad: @Crudbringer:I feel you,and appreciate all you do.It's tuff out there.
	9:42am WoodsOfNH: My Bandcamp want list is frightfully long. May have to take the whole day off just to make purchases.
	9:42am βrian: I hope it wasn't a Denial of Truth attack on the WFMU servers.
	9:43am alanr: Inspire us, Trouble, to find a moment a peace in the morning, before many of us take to the streets again and again for justice. Saludos from Mexico City. We're having a candlelight vigil tonight in front of the US embassy.
	9:43am Stanley: duke: sorry to hear of Gizmo. Great name. Cats are wonderful companions.
	9:44am Snoochienucci: ahhhhh the birdies, im somehow not ashamed to say, one of the best parts of my week.
	9:44am TDK60: Good morning.
	9:44am Irene Trudel: Oh, I see Stanley. Condolences to you, @Duke on losing your kitty Gizmo. My kitties are my "children" and I know your pain of loss.
	9:45am Handy Haversack: @duke: Many sympathies. It's so very hard. Gracias, @alanr.
	9:45am Irene Trudel: Wow, that was a disjointed sentence. Need more coffee and Trouble.
	9:47am David (in London): Snoochie - I love the birds, too. Hey TDK.
	9:47am ami ad: Blue Balls Matter.
	9:49am ?: Anyone else detect a troll?
	9:49am Panda Penguin: Only just managed to make it, and I'm GUTTED to have missed such an incredible-looking opening set. I did a DIY radio set of my own last night and realised that a good batch of the stuff I played was directly inspired by stuff I was first exposed to on this show. So I just wanted to thank you and WFMU for broadening my horizons over my last few years of listening. x
	9:50am TDK60: Hello David in the Londontown.
	9:50am Itzall Hear: That "?" was I, BTW; I got the alternate "sign in" option before actually signing in.
	9:51am Stanley: Birds are one of my great joys. I'm not a photographer or a spotter but do keep up my membership of the RSPB and the Scottish Seabird Centre and visit regularly. Such marvels of nature.

	9:56am Handy Haversack: Will do, Trouble! Let me just edit out the YOuTube links like a good Hurstian. @Stanley: Scottish Seabird Center FTW! Have you ever cruised around the Small Isles? The seabirds are so amazing. Also sea eagles at Mull. Saw a cedar waxwing behind my bldg. the other day, which was quite a high! Thanks for those pix, @βrian. Heat break on the isthmus?
	9:57am Deena: New Kings Democrats was organizing phone calls to repeal NYs article 50-A. If you get in touch with them they will provide you with the phone numbers of your elected officials and a script. You select a time slot so the phone lines aren’t jammed. https://www.newkingsdemocrats.com Trouble please announce if you can.
	9:57am βrian: @Stanley: Oh, I really doubt he would go up against a black-capped chickadee, really. He has a soft touch.
	9:58am David (in London): Stanley - We had a crow in the garden last week who was obviously protecting a freshly hatched brood. The local and cats and foxes were absolutely no match for it, it saw all of them off. At one stage it landed right next to a cat and went for it - the poor moggy turned around and fled PDQ. It was a badass crow.

Blues Jim Crow Blues by Lead Belly Blues originated in the South, and began to be popularized in the 1870s. Lead Belly became well-known as a virtuosic 12-string blues guitar player and singer; he was active as a blues musician from 1903-1949. The exact first recording date of "Jim Crow Blues" is unknown, but is estimated around 1930.

	10:03am ami ad: Major list Handy.
	10:04am Jennica: @Handy: Thank you! Thanks Kate!
	10:04am ottovonbqe: @David - I saw two crows having an all out brawl on the street last year. All the other crows were around watching. They are like the mafia of birds.
	10:04am Trouble: tonight there is a hudson county board of freeholders introduction to candidates via you tube. NEW ideas and progressives! check it here at 7pm www.youtube.com...
	10:05am YETI BOB: I was certain the name was "Leadbelly" but I just learned: 'Though many releases credit him as "Leadbelly", he himself wrote it as "Lead Belly"'
	10:05am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble, tuning in late; I didn’t realise it was Thursday.
	10:07am David (in London): @ottovonbqe - Pretty soon it'll be tapping on the kitchen window and demanding protection money from us...
	10:08am Trouble: that's ok, adrian. your excuse is the world is spinning off orbit
	10:09am Trouble: thanks@ handy, looks great!
	10:10am Handy Haversack: I did, Jennica! I have recommended this book on this and other boards, but: The Wake of Crows by Thom van Dooren. Crows are fascinating and a compelling argument against those who think only humans are sapient. They give gifts, they use tools (incl. fire!!), they mourn their dead.
	10:12am Passaic River Blues: @Handy: that one sounds interesting--I'll have to investigate. Bernd Heinrich's "Mind of the Raven" was an interesting read on a related corvid, the raven.
	10:13am YETI BOB: "Welcome to Earth, home of the great women and men. We are animals that have ideas! Maybe cats and ravens have ideas too, but they keep them to themselves." - Robyn Hitchcock, "Welcome to Earth"
	10:13am David (in London): Handy, I've always been a massive fan of crows for exactly those kinds of reasons. One of my maxims is 'Be nice to a crow. You never know when you might need its good auspices in return.'
	10:14am Jennica: Digging Darondo
	10:16am Slaboch: Darondo Forever! Sounding great Trouble!
	10:17am Handy Haversack: There was a good story in Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2019 about an independent health robot, a crow, and a little girl helping save communities inflicted with poverty from a virus after the U.S. govt. had outsourced all national health matters to Amazon. So it might pay to be nice to them indeed, David!
	10:18am YETI BOB: once i was camping and i roasted some heads of garlic (wrapped in foil) over the campfire. while i was waiting for them to cool off, some ravens swooped in and took them all. corvids are not only smart, apparently they have gourmet taste as well!
	10:21am ottovonbqe: @YETI BOB - perhaps they just wanted the foil
	10:22am Stanley: A seagull snatched a wrapped pasty from a shopping bag as I was unloading the car. Thought okay, you win this time. Then it happened again a few weeks later. Same pie but don't know if it was the same gull or that word had got around for the Saturday morning rip-off chance.
	10:22am Itzall Hear: Crows don't play.
	10:22am TDK60: I know a person who spent 11 years in solitary, a crime against humanity.
	10:22am melinda: @Yeti Bob haha! The memorable time I saw a crow making off with food it was a ziploc bag of cheetos outside a library.
	10:23am Brian D: For those interested: www.theguardian.com...
	10:23am Mike & Dusty: a group of us listeners should go to city hall to protest those very subjects to. “Are you outside agitators? Who sent you??” “TROUBLE SENT US”
	10:24am rabblerabble: Mornin', Trouble. Excellent set so far. Thanks!
	10:24am Itzall Hear: I'll never forget seeing a crow strutting around the parking lot of a McDee's with a single french fry sticking out of his beak like he was smoking. Maybe he was just waiting for a light?
	10:24am Trouble: If you want more information or want to be engaged and volunteer contact groups who are working for policy change: -The NAACP NAACP.org -Southern Poverty Law Center SPLC.org -The Color of Change colorofchange.org -Campaign Zero joincampaignzero.org
	10:24am Polyus: Here in Mpls it has been remarkable to see how quickly a number of entities who contract with the MPD have canceled those contracts. Minneapolis Public Schools, Park Board, Walker Art Center / MIA and so on.
	10:25am YETI BOB: @Trouble: It's amazing to hear the actual numbers. $230M on Police Misconduct cases? Hard to believe. (Another) clear sign that our policies and priorities are all screwed up.
	10:25am TDK60: I'm an outside agitator. I also agitate inside, from home, sometimes.
	10:25am northguineahills: Driving to Georgia for work, thanks for the sounds!
	10:26am Trouble: I got that number from mona chalabi, an amazing journalist who makes fab illustrations to show her point. i follow her on insta, i recommend everyone does
	10:26am Crudbringer: Hello Outside Agitator, I'm a Rootless Cosmopolitan.
	10:27am Listening Out There: ...and I'm a Coastal Elite, tuning in...
	10:29am TDK60: Good news from the City of Brotherly Love: Frank Rizzo's statue has come down.
	10:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Also, those crafty talking magpies, Heckle and Jeckle, always swiping that delicious corn.
	10:30am The Oscar: Been busy working, but WOW this Minnie cover of Respect!! (Also great show top to bottom!)
	10:32am Trouble: amazing segment on what to do with statues that should be torn down art21.org...
	10:33am karlward: I love this station
	10:35am Handy Haversack: @Polyus: The sign Kate (a teacher) carried yesterday urged NYC schools to take a cue from Mpls. and get the cops out of the schools for good.
	10:36am YETI BOB: @Trouble: Thanks for the Mona Chalabi tip, I'm on it. I also saw in today's news that the R.E.Lee statue in Richmond is finally coming down, not a moment too soon.
	10:38am Dances with Moomins: @Polyus. That's very encouraging. Police have disconnected from serving 'we the people'. Hope they get the message . Now the whole world watches. Time for all Americans to vocally, actively repudiate racism. We the people are diverse. WE the people are DIVERSE ! It's obvious, isn't it? And it's time to make institutional, cultural changes ….political changes.
	10:40am Malcolm: yay more sun ra :D still reeling from the sun ra setlast week
	10:43am Trouble: Help send students to college with the United Negro College Fund. UNCF.org Find out more about unjust sentencing habits at Sentencing Project.org
	10:44am WoodsOfNH: @Crudbringer Rootless Cosmopolitan is my favorite Marc Ribot album.
	10:46am Jeezuseffinchrist: yesssss girl, always bust out with Nina
	10:47am WoodsOfNH: OK, I've had my zoom meeting and also started the white cannellini beans. That's enough productivity for one morning. Phew!
	10:48am Phoebe: A stellar listen, as always! Thanks Trouble!
	10:48am karlward: The world wasn't ready for Nina Simone.
	10:49am Dean: I've long been wary of cops and, for that matter, of anybody who irresponsibly embraces authority that is his or hers by virtue of democratic will. But mere repudiation of racism is not enough, and maybe even the wrong tack. See https://nonsite.org/editorial/how-racial-disparity-does-not-help-make-sense-of-patterns-of-police-violence
	10:49am prudy: that's why she moved to France...
	10:55am Jeezy: Wotta world... :-()
	10:55am Jennica: YETI BOB: www.amazon.com...
	10:58am Passaic River Blues: Verso Books is offering free ebook copies of Alex Vitale's "The End of Policing" and David Correia and Tyler Wall's "Police: A Field Guide." Download links: www.versobooks.com... www.versobooks.com...
	11:01am Trouble: thanks for that @prb! libro.fm offers audio books at a comparable price to the amazonking, but you don't pay his highness and you can chose the indy book stores that you buy from. check it out: libro.fm...
	11:02am βrian: Back from the office. It's like a space station there.
	11:05am Dean: Thanks for the Verso titles. See also Frank Zimring's When Police Kill, albeit it's not freely available except from a library: https://alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/just-in/2017-02-21/book-brief-franklin-zimring-s-when-police-kill
	11:06am Jennica: βrian: glad you made it back
	11:07am βrian: Me, too. Especially since I retrieved my good earphones.
	11:09am Dean: Just learned about this, coming on Monday: https://www.law.berkeley.edu/news/livestream-race-and-policing/ The panelists are very impressive. Probably worth folks' time.
	11:12am Trouble: thanks@dean!
	11:13am Carmichael: Heya Trouble and Agitators.
	11:15am Stephanie: As usual, such great rescources being shared here from wfmu folx. Grateful to be tuning in today.
	11:16am cuteCloud: thx 4 the ebook linx , prb!
	11:16am meredith: 45 minutes of Trouble is better than no minutes of Trouble. Morning all. Meetings went long this am. In the auspicious words of King Stevie, "Love is in need of love today." Do what you can and then just a little more <3
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Dean. Still reading the other article you linked to.
	11:17am Itzall Hear: Thank you Trouble, for another insightful, as well as thoroughly entertaining program! This show sure does fly by.
	11:17am YETI BOB: @Jennica: Haha, thanks, that's great! I'll try to see if I can find that somewhere other than Amazon (Bezos is rich enough)
	11:21am Trouble: thanks for your kind words@ itzall hear
	11:22am Jennica: work meeting on deck... Thanks Trouble
	11:23am Ike: This forthcoming book about an attempt to blockade Washington DC seems appropriate to what's happening now: smile.amazon.com... (Remember to choose "Auricle Communications" to benefit WFMU via "Smile" if you buy anything from the... Azamonster? Or do what Trouble said and use your local library.)
	11:23am Adrian in London: I misread this band as ELO and thought, wow, this is a side to Jeff Lynne I didn’t know about
	11:25am MuttonChops: Keep it spinning Trouble!
	11:27am cuteCloud: woo Teaching To Transgress <3
	11:27am Fuzzy: Just hooked up with Verso and downloaded me a Field Guide -- thanks, prb!
	11:28am meredith: might I pile on and recommend Gyasi's spectacular debut Homegoing?
	11:28am happymaan: This is a good book. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:29am Trouble: some reading suggestions The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander Sula by Toni Morrison How to be Anti-racist by Ibram X. Kendi The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead Teaching to Transgress by bell hooks
	11:30am MuttonChops: Thanks! Continue supporting local libraries!
	11:30am Trouble: more great organizations that deserve checking into and supporting: Reclaimtheblock.org Equal Justice Initiative EJI.org Blacklivesmatter.com Black Youth Project 100 BYP100.org civilrights.org
	11:31am Dean: I need to revisit Edmund Morgan's American Slavery, American Freedom, too.
	11:31am TDK60: For background analysis, W.E.B. DuBois.
	11:32am JakeGould: If people want to buy any book and avoid Amazon entirely but want to buy online, here is BookShop.org: bookshop.org Or just search for the book on Bay and buy directly from local bookstores. You need to check who the seller is and many of them are explicit charities, but from my experience few to no Amazon “drop ship” resellers deal with books.
	11:33am sugarwolf: I’m happy to see there have been local protests but many seem to be “but we like the local police!!!” and I don’t know about that.
	11:33am Snoochienucci: I dont mean to over simplify or get political on here (seriously this is my happy place). But how could you possibly put an end to police departments? Who is going to protect people, say in poor neighborhoods, where violence is a problem? Especially when the right to bear arms is also simultaneously talked about being taken away. We have seen recently how much destruction can be caused to both public and private businesses/buildings, (I in no way mean to confuse the people rioting with protestors either). Could you imagine if there were no police to stop some of what has been going on? Meanwhile a store owner also cant defend himself from someone who may be breaking in with a gun pointed at him?
	11:36am Gaylord Fields: Trouble, another WFMU DJ mentioned to me how proud they were to be part of this station during this important moment in time. This program, both on the regular and in particular today, is precisely the sort of thing we were referencing. You walk it like you talk it, and I’m priviliged to call you a colleague and a friend.
	11:36am TDK60: Gotta leave early; thanks Trouble.
	11:36am YETI BOB: I read the Adolph Reed Jr. article and have many criticisms of it. Sure, class is a factor too. But addressing racism is not some kind of distraction, it's vital. Nobody is "demanding ritual declarations that black lives matter". It's the name of a movement, like "Me too". If you don't want to use that phrase, don't use it. The article is full of weird straw-man arguments and cherry-picking of statistics. And his dismissal of Ta-Nehisi Coates for not finishing college is inexecusable, a real cheap shot. Could go on but I'll stop here.
	11:36am ami ad: Courtesy Professionalism Respect,the 3 thing the NYPD does not stand for are written on every cop car.
	11:36am WoodsOfNH: @JakeGould There was a New Yorker article about that a short while back. You can actually create a virtual bookstore with it. I think they talked about one that was named something like "The Bookshop At The End Of The World"
	11:37am JakeGould: “But how could you possibly put an end to police departments?” Our very own Sam Segal explains it well and eloquently on his playlist from last night: www.wfmu.org... “I think the idea of police abolition is that we gradually divest from police, jails, and prisons, and use that money to invest in social services, public infrastructure, and other resources that keep people safe without the involvement of the carceral state. It isn't something that can happen overnight, but I think there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that policing is not an effective strategy for reducing "crime." This interview, and the book "The End of Policing," which it references are good placed to learn more about the concept of police abolition.” “For instance, in a society that doesn't disproportionately invest its resources in police, prisons, and the military, we could provide everyone with housing, health care, education, food, and meaningful work. In that kind of society, I suspect that the incidence of car theft and other property crime would decrease significantly, thereby decreasing the need for a police force to investigate these crimes. This kind of dynamic would snowball over the course of time, leading to the eventual abolition of policing as we know it.”
	11:39am Trouble: awww gaylord! you are making me cry! glad to fly the flag thursday mornings. i am proud of wfmu and what it represents, and that most surely includes you!
	11:40am Gaylord Fields: @Trouble: ✊
	11:41am Gaylord Fields: I wish that fist were darker, but message is still there.
	11:43am Ike: @Snoochie, I had a similar question last night too, and as Jake is pointing out, I thought Sam Segal's responses to me on his playlist were fascinating. I hope it's not all just pie in the sky and that some of it might actually be possible.
	11:44am Snoochienucci: JakeGould, I hear that, and it all sounds very nice and utopian. But idk it seems a little overly hopeful that people wont do the wrong thing when the opportunity is presented to them. "In that kind of society, I suspect that the incidence of car theft and other property crime would decrease significantly" is a HUGE hypothetical to destroy a society over. People of all races, ethnicity and upbringings commit crimes. How many college kids get too drunk and do stupid things? They have opportunities. I mean Donald Trump is rich and all, but he is still greedy and would take from people when he can right?
	11:44am Trouble: exactly@gaylord! x
	11:45am JakeGould: @Snoochienucci: The general idea is that defunding the police and then investing money in current — and even new — social support systems and changing the role of the police in many places such as the U.S. can change things. You know in Japan, police are seen more as a community service and if/when violence happens special officers within the department are the ones that engage the problem? Deconstruct what the police does and reconstruct it into something new. Heck, one can do the same with fire departments: You know how many fire department calls have utterly nothing to do with fires and property but rather heath care with people? Tons! Why does the FDNY have healthcare in their service portfolio? Because you need a pumper truck to arrive if someone breaks a leg? Why are old structures cobbled with tasks that are not their core competency? And to even better understand it look at the different roles U.S. Marshalls, the National Guard, FBI and CIA and such have. They are all ultimately authorities with some kind of weapon right? But none of these groups murder people for selling loose cigarettes or supposedly passing counterfeit $20 bills. Only police departments are endlessly making “mistakes” that kill people so consistently like this.
	11:48am Snoochienucci: @Jake i agree with that last statement completely. Im not saying im against reform in any way. Hell, I have been profiled and "processed" by police myself. But to say things like "abolish police", not saying that is your opinion, is just a ridiculous over simplification
	11:48am ami ad: @JakeGould:Right on.World wide problem.
	11:49am Passaic River Blues: @Snoochi: I would agree a position advocating for immediate abolishment of all law enforcement with absolutely no plan for day-after effects is a pie-in-the-sky argument. But, tacking on to Jake here, there are two parallel and interrelated pathways to reform I've seen discussed: (1) more immediate efforts to "abolish," streamline or completely restructure current department structures with redesigned forces incorporating civilian review and an independent death/force review process baked into the reformed system (e.g., disband redundant forces + import genuine CCRBs directly into PD structure); and (2) a longer term redistribution of state resources to achieve the gradual societal change outlined by Sam Segal and Jake.
	11:50am Gaylord Fields: The police in the 21st century are a paramilitary force, with the “para” dissipating with every rocket launcher it receives in its arsenal. When the only tool you have is a hammer, you treat everything as if it’s a nail.
	11:50am WoodsOfNH: I don't have a lot of hope or these ideas.The U.S. currently can't solve problems with tiny, incremental changes. Big ideas seem impossible. I hate to be so negative about it all.
	11:50am JakeGould: @Gaylord: What would Barney Fife look like in the 21st Century?
	11:52am JakeGould: @WoodsofNH: The most immediate non-incremental thing can be done is simply stop sending surplus military equipment flowing into police departments. You think these cops would be using that gear if they actually had to pay for it?
	11:52am Gaylord Fields: @Jake: He’d be issued one shell for his grenade launcher. Watch out, Otis!
	11:52am Dean: YETI BOB: I hear you. Intentionally or not, Reed is being provocative. But I think it's worth noting that the comment about Coates was in a footnote excursus rant about anti-racist ad hominem argument. Moreover, Reed isn't suggesting race isn't a "factor." He's pointing out that you can't explain the incidence of violence purely in terms of race. Zimring also relies on statistics to make his argument, and in much greater detail. Simply put, it's complicated, and race is but one factor. (Zimring also proposes ways to adjust the culture of policing that are at least plausibly practical.)
	11:54am Gaylord Fields: Race is often a shorthand for class, until someone develops a gizmo you point at someone that tells you their FICO score.
	11:54am JakeGould: @Snoochienucci: Because shouting “Defund the Police” or “Demilitarize the Police” sounds ridiculous and non threatening. You say “Abolish Police” and that sends a strong message to everyone including the police who — let’s face it — have very secure financial plans for life thanks to their jobs. Once you are in a career service job like that you will never feel financial pain even if you murder someone. That is one hell of a gig because even U.S. military don’t have anything like that.
	11:54am Trouble: thanks for all your support today and please continue the conversation: look up these groups and programs that are trying to change society. support their efforts, be kind to your neighbor. and that means standing up for those who can't
	11:54am Polyus: The other night I was watching a piece on local news about Guard troops deployed to help a looted local grocery store reopen were being treated like stars by the residents. People were apparently asking some of these soldiers if they could stay after this is all over - an attempt at feel-good reporting, sure, but it says something that the community’s relationship with the Minneapolis PD is that bad.
	11:54am Snoochienucci: @PassaicRB hear that and also agree. I guess for me its really a matter of reform. I just dont like those trigger words that oversimplfy things like "abolish police", is good for public discussion in anyway. Cops are people too, there are good cops, there are cops that want the best for their community. I dont think your average cop wants to go out and kill his citizen. Anyway that's the end of the politics for me. Love you all!
	11:54am ami ad: Thank you D.J. for bringing up important issues on air and comments board.Thanks all.Keep safe.JobLess.
	11:54am JakeGould: Thank you Trouble for being you!
	11:55am Snoochienucci: Thanks Trouble! Awesome show as always
	11:56am Marley P. Dogg: Thanks for the great show today Trouble! Be well everyone
	11:56am listener 126464: Thank you Trouble.
	11:57am JakeGould: Also, please blame the resurgence in super hero films that endlessly play to the idea that any one of use can be “violent gods” that bring order to the world. As much as I liked Iron Man as a kid, eff all of those movies that glorify a billionaire defense contractor. Screw the MCU and the DCU for infecting kids minds. The films are more pervasive than the comic books.
	11:57am Irene Trudel: Thanks for all this beautiful music, Trouble!
	11:57am YETI BOB: @Dean: I don't have any beef with you and I don't want to get into any arguments here. Just registering my strong objection to Reed's arguments and general tone. It was provocative - it provoked disapproval from me.
	11:58am Fuzzy: Thanks Trouble!
	11:58am Farmer Rye in Santa Cruz: thank you for the support and resources. ACAB
	11:58am Tamar: Great show, Trouble!
	11:58am JakeGould: Thank you again and again and again Trouble.
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:59am Snoochienucci: @JakeGould BTW i didnt mean to direct any of that right at you or make it seem like i was being argumentative. Happy to have a meaningful conversation!
	12:00pm YETI BOB: My favorite radio show of the week - and that's saying a lot, WFMU has some great shows. Thanks to Trouble and all WFMU crew!
	12:00pm Snoochienucci: Thanks again Trouble! See ya next week!
	12:00pm Mike & Dusty: I love a resource that swings, thank you again Trouble
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: Shoot! I was away from the keyboard at the end. Thanks, Trouble. Really lifted me up -- again.
	9:34am Joe: Thanks for introducing me to Lonnie Holley. Amazing.
