Daniel Morgan, a young private investigator, was murdered in a carpark in 1987. His killer has never been brought to justice.

Three and a half decades on the Met Police have discovered a "locked file of documents" that were never handed over to the inquiry looking into police failures.

Today on The News Agents we ask London Mayor his response to what just happened, whether the police should be trusted with new powers and whether corruption lies at the heart of what went wrong.

We also take you to the car crash debate of the last 24 hours. For the first time since 2016, CNN decided to give Donald Trump a live town hall forum with a studio audience... the day after a jury found him liable for sex abuse.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, an unarmed woman was shot and killed by police when the Capitol was taken over on Wednesday. All of the people who have spent years shouting about the killing of unarmed civilians have been mysteriously silent about this case. Or, if not silence, they have celebrated the woman’s death. Also Five Headlines including the Democrats hatching a plan to remove Trump from office, even though he’s going to be gone from office in two weeks anyway. And we will cancel a former NBA star who says that the riot in DC was an example of white supremacy, and his argument gets even more absurd from there.

“The entire state is burning.” That was the refrain Jack Healy, our national correspondent, kept hearing when he arrived in the fire zone in Oregon.

The scale of the wildfires is dizzying — millions of acres have burned, 30 different blazes are raging and thousands of people have been displaced.

Dry conditions, exacerbated by climate change and combined with a windstorm, created the deadly tinderbox.

The disaster has proved a fertile ground for misinformation: Widely discredited rumors spread on social media claiming that antifa activists were setting fires and looting.

Today, we hear from people living in the fire’s path who told Jack about the toll the flames had exacted.

Guest: Jack Healy, a national correspondent for The New York Times.

The Minneapolis police officer whose tactics led to George Floyd’s death had a long record of complaints against him. So why was he still on patrol? Guest: Shaila Dewan, a national reporter covering criminal justice for The New York Times. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily

Background reading:

• Efforts to hold problem officers accountable often face resistance from unions, and juries are reluctant to second-guess police decisions.
• Violence escalated overnight in protests across the country, with police officers under fire in St. Louis and Las Vegas. Here are the latest updates.

In the past I have been too dismissive towards those who raise concerns about unjust police shootings. I have realized that I was wrong and they are right. As a few recent cases demonstrate, there is a serious problem here. Too many innocent people have lost their lives at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve them. Why? That's the question I'll try to tackle on the show today. Date: 12-06-2018

Cops wearing cameras is a new thing. So new that we aren't entirely sure of all the ramifications that go along with them just yet. In theory they should protect both police and citizens, but as we learned, they are no magic pill against police brutality or the death of cops on patrol. Join us as we dive into this complicated issue today.
