Protesting Police Violence and Mapping Detroit

They dive into gentrification and what goes into naming a neighborhood. In the spirit of the upcoming election, the trio dive into the Detroit Voting Map which shows who’s voting in what neighborhoods.
This week’s Hot Take involves Detroit police officers shooting a 20-year-old man having a mental health crisis 38 times. What happened and how can we better handle these situations as a community? Check out the episode to hear our perspective. To read the full article, click here.
