On the show this week, Chris Hedges discusses police abuse and torture with civil rights attorney Flint Taylor. Flint Taylor’s new book is The Torture Machine: Racism and Police Violence in Chicago. With his colleagues at the People’s Law Office, Taylor has argued landmark civil rights cases exposing the corruption and cover-up within the Chicago Police Department and throughout the city’s political machine from the alderman to the mayor’s office.
