24 Minutes in Mott Haven

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 26, 2021

Last summer, during protests against police violence spurred by George Floyd's death, protesters say police used excessive force to disperse the crowd (the city now also acknowledges this to be true). Jami Floyd, senior editor for race and justice at WNYC, and Selenah Martin, a protestor, talk about what happened that night, and what kinds of police reform advocates and protesters are calling for.
