Show Notes
For years, the city of St. Louis has fought to keep an internal police audit out of public view. The audit has now been unsealed by a court order: its pages accuse the city's police department of making numerous errors while investigating 50 police shootings. St. Louis Post Dispatch columnist Tony Messenger joins the show to discuss a recent piece he’s written about the legal fight over this audit, and why St. Louis fought so hard to keep it secret.
