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.

Police departments are increasingly relying on AI to write official reports — and this week, one of those systems produced a report claiming an officer turned into a frog after audio from The Princess and the Frog contaminated the file.

We break down how and why police agencies are adopting AI despite clear accuracy failures, and what this means for accountability when automated systems are used to generate official records.

The episode also examines a major legal ruling in Austin, Texas, where an appeals court overturned a jury conviction and acquitted a police officer who killed a man during a mental health crisis inside an elevator.

We also discuss a former police officer who violently attacked a child in a swimming pool, a police chief who accidentally burned down a nursing home, and a Wisconsin judge convicted after helping a migrant avoid ICE arrest inside her courtroom.
