While I'm away, the staff at The North Star will be playing some of our favorite episodes from some of our other podcast series. 

Today, here's a re-run episode where I breakdown exactly why police brutality is functionally legal in the United States by unpacking a Supreme Court case that currently protects even the worst officers in cases of police brutality. To hear more on the subject go back and listen to episode 13 & 14 as this was the first in a three part series.
