National Reckoning: The Killing of George Floyd, 1 Year Later

In our inaugural episode, we’re taking a look back to one year ago, when a viral video showed George Floyd being held on the ground for nine minutes, with white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's knee on his neck. Since then, worldwide protests calling for racial justice sparked criminal charges, a trial and a guilty verdict. We also have our eyes on the future — and what Chauvin's murder conviction means going forward in achieving justice and fair trials.Special guests:San Francisco District Attorney Chesa BoudinSam Lewis, executive director of the Anti Recidivism CoalitionJamil Dakwar, director of the ACLU’s Human Rights ProgramBrian Marvel, president of the Peace Officers Research Association of CaliforniaSgt.
