Episode 3: The Last Straw
from Dejene Yimen's podcast · host WPLN - Nashville Public Radio
When Officer Andrew Delke killed Daniel Hambrick, he became the first Nashville police officer to be charged with murder for an on-duty shooting. But he's not the first to kill a civilian, nor the first white officer to kill a Black man. In this episode, we dissect half a century of trauma, anger and escalating distrust as one shooting after the next failed to bring about reform. And we try to understand why this shooting is the one that's going to trial.
