YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Professor Barry Friedman of NYU Law, who directs the NYU Policing Project, joined NewsNation to discuss the polarized reactions to the shooting of Alex Pretti. In a recent New York Times piece, Friedman argued that local prosecution may be the only viable path to accountability in the Minneapolis shootings, writing that “bringing these state and local prosecutions could produce deterrent effects that are so desperately needed now.”

"On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects. Weekdays at 9p/8C. #OnBalance
