A Trauma That Never Seems To End
from WLWT News 5 Hosted by WLWT News 5
The trauma of police shootings of black men and women never seems to end. On March 11, 2021 Daunte Wright was mistakenly shot and killed by a 26-year police veteran. She thought she was pulling her taser while trying to arrest Wright, but she actually pulled out her gun and fired one round. This happened just miles from where the trial of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin is on trial for the murder of George Floyd. Nearly a year ago, he pressed his knee on the neck of Floyd for than 9 minutes. So many times these encounters are caught on police body camera or by witnesses. The constant exposure to these videos are a constant reminder to the minority community of the tragic events primarily impacting them. In this episode, you'll hear from Reverend Peterson Mingo on the interactions with police involving his own family. Then Dr. Danielle Johnson, a physician in psychiatry with the Lindner Center of Hope, will explain more about how trauma impacts entire communities and how you can start to have conversations about these events with everyone from your kids to your co-workers. https://lindnercenterofhope.org/ (513)-536-HOPE (4673) https://lindnercenterofhope.org/clinicians/danielle-j-johnson-md/ @DrDaniJ https://www.hcmhrsb.org/ http://www.mentalhealthaccesspoint.org/
