Summary

For Today's episode of The Breakdown, we are going way back and replaying our 12th episode. The first in a 3-part series that dives into the issue of why police brutality is effectively legal in the United States, by analyzing the Supreme Court cases that protect even the most abusive officers. In the first and second episodes, King breaks down the cases and their implications. But in the third episode, he doesn't just leave us with the problem, he offers solutions and empowers us by telling us what we can do to bring about change. Tune in over the next two days to learn about the legal landscape and how we can work toward justice for victims of police brutality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
