During this segment of The Path Forward, NBC 5's LeeAnn Trotter talks with panelists about policing in America, whether policing policies are working and what needs to change.
Policing in America is under attack, and calls to defund the police are at an all-time high. There have been questions about policing policies for years, but when George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis office last May, the issue became front and center.
Panelists include:
- Dr. Lauren Tucker, founder and CEO of Do What Matters, an inclusion management consultancy. Dr. Tucker is on a mission to shift cultural and industry thinking around Diversity Equity and Inclusion.
