Cop shows have come under scrutiny over the last few weeks with police brutality and the systemic problems of how we police our communities taking center stage in the unrest happening around the US. On this episode, we spend some times discussing our own experiences with cop shows, discuss why they are so popular, and imagine a world post police-procedural.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting.
