Police Reform with J.D. Tuccille

J.D. Tuccille is a contributing editor for Reason.com and has written extensively on police reform. J.D. and Jon chat about the various reform proposals out there, including repealing qualified immunity, reforming powerful police unions, and abolishing “release time,” where cops get full-time pay for union work. (Jon’s written about those here.)

    Interesting to hear various libertarian ideas on reforming the police. Thanks.

    As to the podcast, I enjoy your interviews Jon. Maybe call it The Interview? Or has that been taken?

    I think @johndavey‘s suggestions are much better. I vote for The Conservatarian’s Cheer the Fear Whiplash Bash.

    I for one respect the arcane reference to Jackie Robbins Jr.
