New York’s power-hungry mayor weaponizes the police to help him control the city – and bulldoze a thriving Black community for his own real estate profits. The state, fearing that the mayor and his police have become too strong, wage a war for control – and create their own rival force.&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:Jeff Broxmeyer <a href="https://www.jeffbroxmeyer.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.jeffbroxmeyer.com/</a>Mariame Kaba <a href="https://mariamekaba.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mariamekaba.com/</a>Leslie Alexander <a href="https://drlesliealexander.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://drlesliealexander.com/</a>Gregg Simmons <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4206025/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4206025/</a>Follow Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD on the Wondery App or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
