This week in my seminar, “Law, Society, & American Policing,” we’re discussing police discretion. We’re going to watch this body cam video and talk about the discretionary decisions that were made, why discretion is good, and what are some cons of discretionary decision-making.
Video shows that officers dragged Tyreek Hill out of his car after he put his window back up
