Joshua and Aaron have broached this topic before, but it is front and center once again with the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, MN. Many people are calling this a race issue. While some are saying these police officers are just "a few bad apples." Here are some numbers: Between January 1 through March 30, 2020, 228 people were shot and killed by police in the United States. That is over 2.5 people killed every single day by the people who have sworn to "Protect and Serve" them. Is this a systemic issue? Joshua and Aaron hash it out.
