From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

Law enforcement on trial in America.

Hello again, I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International.

A daily look at the issues Americans call about most.

Recent body cam and bystander videos appear to confirm the worst accusations against police

in some parts of the country. They show what looks like racial profiling, abuse of force,

and tampering with evidence. They suggest some cops believe they can get away with murder.

Everybody agrees police face danger on a daily basis,
