RACIAL INJUSTICE-REINVESTIGATING THE DEATHS

One man was killed by police a decade ago - after a confrontation touched off by illegal parking. Another was shot to death by cops in 2018, following a mental health crisis that sent him running into the street naked. A third died in 2019 in an encounter with police where he repeated “I can’t breathe.” The men’s families and activists have called on authorities to reopen investigations into their deaths. They are not alone. Around the country, protesters have been pushing for prosecutors to take a second look at police killings of Black people. By Denise Lavoie.
