Roland Martin: The state systematically violating Americans constitutional rights and layer upon layer of system that is designed to stop that from being ameliorated or, you know, punished in any way. He says the whole point of a jury is to have a jury of one's peers, a representative community of, of laypeople who can assess your case. "It's just simply not a representative jury," he adds. 'I'm very sympathetic to the idea that you could just go into the family size bunker and take your like Cheetos and wait for the police to come'

Is there such a thing as "too much justice"? This week, Adam explores the pressing issue of police violence and accountability with Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law Joanna Schwartz. Together they discuss the challenges faced in holding law enforcement accountable, potential reforms, and explore the role of litigation in seeking justice and fostering meaningful change.
