We review the week's news, from a heated race for Sen. Ed Markey's seat to recent Boston Police news, including revelations from the so-called "Operation Clean Sweep" and an alleged racist incident involving a Boston police officer and students from the Roxbury Prep High School in Hyde Park. We also break down the sexual misconduct allegations surrounding Antonio Brown, Brett Kavanaugh and Jeffrey Epstein, two years into the #MeToo movement.
