Bystanders gathered around a young Black man in the crosshairs of police rifles in a Seattle-area standoff. Dr. Rashad Richey and Ben Carollo discuss on Indisputable. Tell us what you think in the comments below.
“Reports of gunfire and yelling in the street Wednesday night near 12th and Mercer led to a tense situation with East Precinct officers taking aim on an unarmed person in crisis before deciding to retreat from the scene when a crowd of bystanders gathered. The quickly formed and instantly tense standoff is an example of how fast police response to a 911 report involving a gun can escalate and also shows how perceptions of police in a standoff situation have shifted after repeated incidents like the killing of Tyre Nichols.” *** Indisputable, features Dr. Richey talking about the top news stories of the day, reading viewer comments, and engaging in debates and conversations with guests.
