Checks and balance: Fair cops - a podcast by The Economist

America is engulfed in its most widespread,sustained unrestsince the late 1960s. It was sparked by an act of police brutality caught on camera. In the days since, Americans have seenpolice forceslook more like an invading army than public servants sworn to protect their fellow citizens. Who will the politics of police versus protestors favour in 2020?

We speak to Janeé Harteau, a former Minneapolis police chief, historian Khalil Gibran Muhammad, and Mitch Colvin, Mayor of Fayetteville, North Carolina.

John Prideaux,The Economist’s US editor, hosts with Charlotte Howard, New York bureau chief, and Washington correspondent Jon Fasman.
