In Episode 11 of the Decent Ideas Podcast, Terence gives some thought to the current state of the "monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force", aka the "monopoly on violence" held by the state and police in this country, before relating it to protests, racial justice, domestic extremism, guns, etc.

The Decent Ideas Podcast treats societal problems like software problems, except the app under the microscope is our democratic society. Solutions to big problems aren't always perfect from the get-go, but they're worth trying in trying times. Host Terence Cudney takes you through a "decent" idea, or sometimes a less-decent idea, once every other week. Enjoy!
