The Show regularly checks in with the Editorial Board of the Arizona Republic to talk about the big issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s Op-Ed pages.

Cities across the country are considering what to do with their local law enforcement agencies. Should they “defund” the police as some are calling for? If not, what modifications need to happen to move past the concerns — which have grown since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis — of systemic racism in police forces?

Phil Boas, editorial page editor for the Republic, joined The Show for his weekly appearance to discuss what's on the table. He began by sharing what Phoenix is considering with its police review board.
