This episode examines how police accountability actually works in the U.S. — and why it so often fails.

We discuss the tragic death of Renee Good, the first officer to stand trial for the Uvalde school shooting, the legal reality that cops are not required to protect the public, and a new law review study calling “suicide by cop” junk science used to excuse police killings.

We also look at police culture from the inside, including a lawsuit alleging discrimination, retaliation, and AI-generated harassment within a state patrol agency.
