Comedic Thinking and Laughing, Philly & Trauma Informed Decision Making

Comedic Thinking and Laughing, Philly & Trauma Informed Decision Making

Why do some comedians simply make us laugh and how do others make us both laugh and think? Should there be a difference? Why does it matter?

For today's CPT conversation, Ken and Dee look at Comedic Thinking and Laughing in the way culture plays a role in determining who can and can not laugh. Philadelphia tragedy comes up for our P, where the fellas look at how the lack of utilizing all options to de-escalate a situation plays in the continued absurdity of what policing looks like.  And finally, Trauma-Informed Decision Making and how trying to exert our authority only makes matters worse.
