The death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, at the hands of officers in Memphis last month has intensified calls for fundamental reform in policing. Those calls were echoed yesterday by President Biden, who hosted Mr. Nichols’s parents at the State of the Union address.

Today, we hear about a Times investigation into the special team of officers, known as the Scorpion unit, that is accused of killing Mr. Nichols.

Guest: Mike Baker, the Seattle bureau chief and a national correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• For 14 months, officers from the high-profile Scorpion unit patrolled Memphis with an air of menace.
• City leaders had praised the Scorpion unit as a key strategy for fighting crime. Now they are trying to assess whether it was flawed from the start.
• The unit has been disbanded, but Memphis wasn’t the only city to turn to specialized police teams.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, five black police officers are under arrest after fatally beating a black man. Everyone involved is black, yet that hasn't stopped the media from pinning the blame on "white supremacy." Also, police departments across the country have been lowering their standards in order to attract new and "diverse" recruits. Does that play into the incident in Memphis? Plus, the Paul Pelosi 911 call is finally revealed, which also reveals the real story in that bizarre situation. A trans figure skater accidentally gives us the funniest video of the year so far. And the pop star Sam Smith tries to become the white male Lizzo. The results are as tedious as they are revolting.

From a young age, "Andy" wanted to be a police officer.

But in 2021, after 15 years on the job, he quit. Andy wrote about his decision in the r/OffMyChest community on Reddit — a choice that left him  "half-heartbroken and half-relieved".

In this episode, Andy talks about the ethical dilemmas that led him to leave law enforcement for good.

A Times investigation last year found that minor traffic stops in the United States were far more deadly than widely thought — in the previous five years, 400 unarmed motorists who were not under pursuit for any violent crime were killed by the police during such checks.

We look at the different efforts across the country to rethink the stops and at the pushback from opponents who say that restrictions on the practice could keep more guns and criminals on the streets.

Guest: David D. Kirkpatrick, an investigative reporter for The New York Times.

The U.S. is an outlier when it comes to policing, as evidenced by more than 1,000 fatal shootings by police each year. But we’re an outlier in other ways too: a heavily-armed populace, a fragile mental-health system, and the fact that we spend so much time in our cars. Add in a history of racism and it’s no surprise that barely half of all Americans have a lot of confidence in the police. So what if we start to think about policing as … philanthropy?

In 2019, it seemed to many that Gov. Ralph Northam’s career was over.

That year, the Democratic governor of Virginia became embroiled in a highly publicized blackface scandal centered on a racist picture in his medical-school yearbook. There were widespread calls for his resignation.

Two years later, Mr. Northam has emerged as the most racially progressive leader in the state’s history. How did it happen?

Guest: Astead W. Herndon, a national political reporter for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• When a racist picture was discovered on his yearbook page, Ralph Northam refused to resign. Now he’s leaving office with a widely praised progressive record on racial justice.
• Virginia’s governor survived a blackface scandal with the help of Black Democrats, who saw a chance for policy concessions. Both got more from the relationship than they could have imagined.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, President Biden delivered a long, rambling, and at times barely intelligible speech to congress last night, but if you could stay awake and decipher it, there was plenty to be concerned about. Especially the part where Biden unveils his plan for “universal preschool.” I’ll explain why that is a horrible, dystopian idea. Also Five Headlines including the parents who are volunteering their babies for COVID vaccine trials. What sort of parent would do that? And a track runner in Oregon collapses on the track after being forced to run with a mask. Plus, is the No Fly List being politically weaponized by the Biden Administration? Finally in our Daily Cancellation, we’ll discuss the outrage over comments Steve Harvey made claiming that men and women cannot be platonic friends. Is he wrong, or exactly 100 percent correct?
