&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;If former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s case for the death of George Floyd goes to trial, there will be this one, controversial legal principle looming over the proceedings: The reasonable officer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this episode, we explore the origin of the reasonable officer standard, with the case that sent two Charlotte lawyers on a quest for true objectivity, and changed the face of policing in the US.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This episode was produced by Matt Kielty with help from Kelly Prime and Annie McEwen.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
