What The Breonna Taylor Settlement Reforms Mean

In the police reform debate, the question of holding officers accountable is a key issue. But the way things are, prosecutors often work on cases in conjunction with the police, creating a potential conflict of interest. On Today's Show:Emily Bazelon, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, co-host of Slate's Political Gabfest podcast, Truman Capote Fellow for creative writing and law at Yale Law School and author of Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration (Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2020), and Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation, talk about why so few district attorneys choose to prosecute police officers who some say have very clearly committed unlawful acts.
