Episode description

Michael takes a careful look at the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, pushing past slogans and snap judgments to examine what the law actually requires. Analyzing video evidence, use-of-force standards, and the “reasonable officer” test, Michael explains why this case may be fundamentally different from similar recent incidents—and why at least one officer could face serious legal exposure. A conversation about policing, protests, guns, and the cost of abandoning nuance. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
