Catch up with Bobbin and Eric on the week in news around the Normandale Park shooting and the City of Portland's failure to protect protestors for racial justice, how Colin Kaepernick launched an initiative for free autopsies to families who lost loved ones to police violence. Eric and Bobbin also discuss the importance of public defenders as a check on police misconduct. Our guest Athul Acharya, Executive Director of Public Accountability, joins us to discuss his work challenging legal doctrines in federal court that prevent public officials from being held accountable, such as Qualified Immunity.
Next week, Eric and Bobbin will host DA Matt Ellis and DA John Hummel (the conversation about solitary confinement will be pushed to later).
