Non-shooting deaths involving police receive less official scrutiny than shootings and are not tracked the same. A recent report reveals there have been more than 1,000 deaths in the last decade. The founder of  Mapping Police Violence will join us to discuss why these types of deaths are getting the same attention. 

California Congresswoman Maxine Waters will be here to talk about her new initiative to combat the maternal health crisis in minority & low-income communities. I'll also get her thoughts on the recent passing of Lou Gossett, Jr.

And a Black Florida man's trial begins tomorrow for a DUI even though the officer is on bodycam video allegedly opening, then emptying a liqueur bottle and placing it back in his care before arresting him. We have the video!
