An urgent and definitive examination of how the legal system prevents accountability for police misconduct, from one of the country's leading scholars on policing. In recent years, the high-profile murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many others have brought much-needed attention to the pervasiveness of police misconduct. Yet it remains nearly impossible to hold police accountable for abuses of power-the decisions of the Supreme Court, state and local governments, and policy makers have, over decades, made the police all but untouchable.
