Essayist, author, and attorney, Heather Mac Donald, is a Thomas W. Smith Fellow of the Manhattan Institute and an American treasure. She joins the show to discuss the current explosion of violence and rioting in Minnesota and around the country after the police involved shooting death of Daunte Wright, who resisted arrest during the altercation. Heather cuts through the noise and the emotional arguments filling the mainstream media’s nightly news coverage to bring the facts. Are police racist? Are they targeting black people? Are we headed toward another era of urban blight? This is a must listen to interview with one of America’s most knowledgeable experts on police violence.

The second part is a group of experts that discuss the problem with the present criminal justice system. The main cause of the problems are of course driven by misdemeanor arrest and the police. America would be Nirvana if there were no police and no arrests. The experts never have to live with the consequences of their suggestions.

The movie is Very interesting about all the aspects of misdemeanor enforcement, arrest, trial, conviction, and incarceration.
