Summary

Holding Police accountable for their actions is very complicated. Changing right-wing conspiracy theorists' minds is complicated. Staying active and healthy is complicated. Asha and Renato discuss what prosecution of the people who beat Tyre Nichols so severely that he died from his injuries will probably look like. And why it's so hard to hold police accountable. Video footage from the attack on Paul Pelosi was just released. The truth doesn't look anything like what the conspiracy theorists believe. Plus, Renato comes clean about his oatmeal habit.

0:08.4	So Renato in the last week we saw the horrific beating of Tyree Nichols by Memphis police officers.
0:16.1	This was completely caught on video. Does that mean that this is going to be an
0:21.8	easy case to prosecute?
0:25.0	It's complicated.
0:27.0	I'm Renata Mariati.
0:31.0	I'm a former federal prosecutor, a practicing lawyer, and a legal analyst.
0:36.8	And I'm Asher Rangappa. I teach national security law at Yale University. I'm a former
