Last week, a Florida jury deadlocked on attempted manslaughter charges against a white policeman in the shooting of a Black mental health therapist. The officer testified that he was aiming at an autistic man who he thought was holding the therapist hostage when he fired three bullets. Seven years ago, a self-appointed neighborhood watch volunteer gunned down a black teenager walking back from a convenience store. From the shooter’s acquittal by a Florida jury grew the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Criminal and constitutional law expert Donald Jones looks at how the landscape has changed through the lens of the movement. Recorded on March 20, 2019.
