Before the NYPD existed, New Yorkers strongly opposed the idea of an armed police force – until a powerful news publisher changed everything. After a grisly murder takes place, the city’s newspapers sensationalize the story, blame the cops, and a new force is born. But will these cops work to solve the case or will they spend their days hunting something–or someone–else?&nbsp;From Wondery, Crooked Media and PushBlack.Empire City is made with a commitment to ensure the stories of those who were and are still&nbsp;impacted by the NYPD are always part of the stories we tell ourselves about the police, about America, and about democracy.Voices & References:Ed O’Donnell <a href="https://edwardtodonnell.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://edwardtodonnell.com/</a>Greg Young <a href="https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/about-us" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/about-us</a>Alan Singer <a href="https://www.hofstra.edu/faculty-staff/faculty-profile.html?id=1412" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hofstra.edu/faculty-staff/faculty-profile.html?id=1412</a>Wilbur Miller <a href="https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/history/people/_emeriti/miller.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/history/people/_emeriti/miller.php</a>Jon Wells <a href="https://www.jonathandanielwells.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.jonathandanielwells.com/</a>Mariame Kaba <a href="https://mariamekaba.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mariamekaba.com/</a>The Bowery Boys podcast <a href="https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/bowery-boys-first/bowery-boys-podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/bowery-boys-first/bowery-boys-podcast</a>Follow Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD on the Wondery App or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
