This week on STPT, Danielle Holland and Netsie Tjirongo get into police procedurals, copaganda, and how Andy Samberg has got us all heart eyes. 

Then, Los Angeles based multimedia journalist, Cerise Castle, joins the show. Cerise and hosts dive into her recent investigative series, A Tradition of Violence: The History of Deputy Gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Breaking through the illusion of "serve and protect," Castle examines deputy gang activity in Los Angeles, state sponsored violence across the Nation, and how you can take action to support your community. The great UnEarthing is here and now. Get ready to uproot some shit. 

This week is delivering you some of that Real Real, but rest assured we will leave you with a sprinkle of Joy, a taste of Luxury, and a fuck-ton of that Big Taurus Energy.
