I highly recommend the six part mini series Robert Evans did called "Behind the Police" as a subset of his "Behind the Bastards" podcast.

I recommend A Tradition of Violence about the LA police gangs. Behind the police was....insightful

Even Throughline had a history of policing episode (NPR, so liberals); and even their takeaway from what I remember was: police just come from slave patrols and solely exist to maintain existing power structures.

I think I have a verso book “End of Policing” by vitals, but have gotten around to reading it yet … and maybe I should!
