YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe terror of police power is a recurring fact of American life, particularly in this country's poorest communities and in communities of color. The power officers have over us comes not only from the strength of their weapons, but also from a legal system that is swift to protect its enforcers, yet slow to hold them to account. Where did this virtual immunity from prosecution come from? Has it always been this way? Historian Joanna Schwartz joins The Chris Hedges report to discuss her new book, Shielded: How the Police Became Untouchable.
Joanna Schwartz is a professor of law at UCLA, where she teaches civil procedure and courses on police accountability and public interest lawyering.
