Fatal police shootings remain in the headlines – from the recent killings of Adam Toledo to Daunte Wright to Ma'Khia Bryant to Andrew Brown, Jr.

In fact, six police killings occurred in the 24 hours after the Chauvin verdict.

Is this now the norm?

Today, we spend the hour with criminal justice experts to discuss policing – from its history and evolution to fact vs. fiction to crisis intervention and the future of reform, both nationally and locally.

And our experts are here to field listeners’ questions, comments and concerns.
