George Floyd's Panic and the Fear of Detox

The hosts re-examine the footage of George Floyd's arrest, suggesting his "crying" and resistance were rooted in the fear of going to jail and facing a brutal detox. They compare this to the show "Intervention," where addicts binge before entering rehab. A comparison is made to the death of rapper DMX, noting how the media uses addiction to dismiss the humanity of certain victims.
