Crouching Tiger, Hidden Texts

What if we told you that for four years Long Beach police officers used a secret messaging app that permanently wiped their communications? The LBPD was the only law enforcement agency in the country that widely adopted the use of this app called TigerText. In this true burn-after-reading story, James and Daniel are joined by Audrena Redmond of Black Lives Matter Long Beach to talk about how this destruction of records shows how the city will do anything to protect itself from negative press and uphold the status quo of the police department instead of addressing our over-reliance on policing and surveillance.
