In this week's episode, host Franklin Shelby reviews the case of George Floyd, who was recently killed by Officer Derek Chauvin of the Minneapolis Police Department in Minnesota. We take a look at the video of the encounter and the likely next steps in the legal proceedings for the responding officers.
Next, Franklin takes a comprehensive review of policing in America, according to the hard data and trends that have remained consistent for years. We also take the media to task for lying and misrepresenting facts concerning America's police force and covering for violent riots in response to police killings (justified or unjustified).
