094 - Racism, the Criminal Justice System, and the Legitimacy of the Police

The protests following the homicide of George Floyd reflect serious questions about the legitimacy of the police. Law professor and philosopher Ekow Yankah talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about the nature of legitimacy and the longstanding double standard that has led the nation to a moment of reckoning on race. He explains, "We can no longer have an America where white problems are social problems and black problems are policing problems."
