b"(Jathan's mic is busted for this episode \\u2013 sorry!) We hit y\\u2019all with a double header about what happens when the cop in our mind is allowed to thrive. First is the psychodrama and that led to a successful member of the liberal professoriate to become a cop just to sate her curiosity and stick it to her mom. Second is the entrepreneurs who prey on the social anxiety and paranoia to whip people into frenzy as a way to sell their technologies of private policing. \\n\\nSome stuff we reference: \\nThe Professor Who Became a Cop | Patrick Blanchfield: newrepublic.com/article/162245/rosa-brooks-professor-police-officer\\n'FIND THIS FUCK:' Inside Citizen\\u2019s Dangerous Effort to Cash In On Vigilantism | Joseph Cox and Jason Koebler: vice.com/en/article/y3dpyw/inside-crime-app-citizen-vigilante\\nWho Runs the Streets of New Orleans? | David Amsden: nytimes.com/2015/08/02/magazine/who-runs-the-streets-of-new-orleans.html\\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nTMK shirts are now available: bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/ \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
