A proposito di questo titolo
In this episode of Sit, Stay, Think, Paul sets aside prepared topics to respond in real time to a police shooting involving an ICE agent in Minnesota.
After watching the video, reviewing witness testimony, and reading conflicting accounts from media and government officials, this episode doesn’t debate policy or legality. Instead, it asks a harder question: what happens when people entrusted with authority lack restraint, critical thinking, and the ability to de-escalate?
Drawing on lived experience and a Buddhist understanding of fear, Paul argues that this incident reflects a deeper institutional failure—one rooted not in public safety, but in panic, insecurity, and power without accountability. The episode concludes with a blunt reckoning over the origins of ICE, the role of fear in governance, and the human cost of normalizing violence as control.
This is not a comfortable episode.
It is a necessary one.
