Tyre Nichols and A New Push for Police Reform
The beating death of Tyre Nichols has renewed calls for reforming the police. But can anything really change?
Military researchers announced a successful missile defense test of a proposed system that has long attracted criticism for being too expensive and inherently unreliable. Congress also just passed a bill to continue development of the controversial F-22 fighter plane. In the meantime, the Joint Chiefs of Staff are pushing for a reconfiguration of America’s fighting forces to address the new military/strategic challenges that lie ahead. A panel talks about military spending and how military priorities are set.
