Learn about the latest in local public affairs in about the time it takes for a coffee break! Brian Callanan of Seattle Channel and Kevin Schofield of Seattle City Council Insight discuss the Seattle City Council's move to ban tear gas (and make other changes to Seattle Police Department protocols), what it means to "defund the police," and why Seattle Public Schools don't want officers on their campuses. Plus, we support a black-owned business, Conscious Eatery, that's found an innovative way to fight hunger. If you like this podcast and can support local journalism, please support us on Patreon!
