Joanna Schwartz: I believe that every worker deserves a union. She says police unions tend to look out for their members in ways that hurt the rights of people who those police officers are meant to be protecting at the very least. "Our system works," she says, but we cannot judge our system by how it treats George Floyd and Tyree Nichols.

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.
