778: Long Gun

Police Tactics and the Use of Lethal Force Over Capture

The hosts discuss why law enforcement often kills suspects rather than capturing them, drawing parallels to military drone strikes. They argue that the modern judicial system and the threat of lawsuits incentivize police to use lethal force to avoid long, expensive trials and legal liability. They also comment on the "optics" of the military-grade equipment used by local police during the San Bernardino response.
