Before reacting to a viral clip or choosing a political side, there’s a more important question: what does the law say? Public debates about police use of force often begin with a short video, a headline, or a social media narrative, but the legal standards that govern these moments were defined decades ago by the Supreme Court and they’re far more complex than most public discussions suggest.

In this episode, Justin Yentes is joined by self-defense attorney Joey Hamby and former LEO Matt Browning to break down the constitutional framework behind use-of-force cases. They examine the landmark Supreme Court decisions that courts rely on when determining whether force was lawful and how those standards are applied in real-world situations where officers must make split-second decisions.
