What happens when the police become an army?

Since 1997, the US Department of Defense has transferred more than $7.2bn in military equipment to law enforcement agencies. This militarization has, unsurprisingly, been shown to unjustly impact on Black communities and is associated with increased killings by police.

The Police Public Safety Training Center in Atlanta – more commonly known as ‘Cop City’ – is just the latest manifestation of the militarization of policing. It is a costly and controversial endeavor, being forced through by the local Democrat-run administration, in the face of widespread opposition among local communities. Resistance to the project has been met with spurious legal roadblocks, activist intimidation and violent repression.

But Cop City is far from being just a local issue; almost every US state now has a Cop City project of their own in some stage of development, and the logic, structures and ramifications of Cop Cities are truly international.

In this episode we are joined by Liliana, Joy James and Kalonji Changa to discuss the history of Cop Cities, the parallels with the notorious School of the Americas, and the ways in which the tactics and logic of US imperialism abroad are being brought to bear on working class and racialized communities at home.



Liliana is an immigrant from Colombia based in Houston, Texas. She is an abolitionist and has worked directly with prisoners on death row and their families. She is the co-host of the radio show ‘Voz de La Tierra’ on KPFT Pacifica, discussing the geopolitical effects of militarism, policing, imperialism, and racism on Indigenous, Black, and immigrant colonized communities across the globe.

Joy James is an organizer and author. Her recent books include In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love; New Bones Abolition: Captive Maternal Agency and the (After)Life of Erica Garner; and Contextualizing Angela Davis: The Agency and Identity of an Icon. She is the editor of Beyond Cop Cities: Dismantling State and Corporate-Funded Armies and Prisons, and the forthcoming ENGAGE: Indigenous, Black, and Afro-Indigenous Futures. Joy also works with the Guerrilla Intellectual University (GIU) podcast collective on Black Power Media (BPM).

Kalonji Jama Changa is an organizer and founder of the FTP Movement. He is the author of How to Build a People’s Army and co-producer of the documentary Organizing Is the New Cool. Kalonji is founder of Black Power Media and serves as co-chair of the Urban Survival and Preparedness Institute.

Trump’s Cabinet Colorblind? "No 'Black Voices"
As President-elect Donald Trump announces his cabinet picks, the lack of Black appointments is notable. While Trump includes two Hindu-Americans, Vivek Ramaswamy and Tulsi Gabbard, his 18 picks feature only three women and no Black members. In contrast, Biden's cabinet boasted diverse representation, including five Black members and two Hispanic/Latino individuals​.

Join us for a deep dive into the hidden connections between ESPN and the Military Industrial Complex. This live stream will explore how sports media platforms like ESPN, through figures such as Stephen A. Smith and other influential voices like Gilbert Arenas, serve as conduits for imperialist narratives and military propaganda. From patriotic halftime shows to military-sponsored segments, the link between sports entertainment and U.S. global dominance is more entrenched than you might think.

We’ll unpack how sports media normalizes militarization, sells imperialist ideals, and influences public perception of U.S. foreign policy. We'll also explore how figures in sports media unknowingly (or knowingly) perpetuate these agendas, bolstering recruitment efforts and glorifying war. By exposing these ties, we aim to foster critical discussions about decolonizing sports media and breaking the cycle of imperialist influence in entertainment.

Stay tuned for critical perspectives from analysts, media critics, and sports commentators as we break down this dangerous alliance.
