The Beavercreek Shooting and Police Use of Force

10 am

Last month police shot and killed a 22-year-old black man at a WalMart in Beavercreek, OH. Since then, differing stories of the event have emerged, with some saying the force was excessive, and others, justified. Both sides have held rallies outside the store. We'll talk about the pending investigation of the case, and discuss the issues surrounding use of force by police.
