This week on Surveillance and the City, we look at the smoldering wreckage of last week’s attack on the capitol, as police boosters use the attack as an excuse to further-expand surveillance.
Then we take a hard look at Leticia James and the NYPD oversight inquiry.
Finally, for Stranger Than Science Fiction, we examine 'It Can't Happen Here,' the 1935 novel by Sinclair Lewis, a dystopia in which fascism is able to prevail in America.
