Panel: Police Aren't Racist, But Traffic Policies Must Change
from On Track · host Louisville Public Media
Earlier this month, a Courier Journal story about a traffic stop involving Tae-Ahn Lea sparked public outrage. Lea, a black teenager, was pulled over for making a wide turn and ended up handcuffed and searched. Is this what's supposed to happen? Are LMPD traffic stops effective, or used as a way to harass and intimidate black drivers? WFPL's Rick Howlett talked with panelists to ask how traffic stops work and what the police and community can do to better their relationship. Our guests were: Jessica Green, 1st District Metro Councilperson Nicolai Jilek, President of the River City Fraternal Order of Police Keturah Herron, ACLU of Kentucky Field Organizer for Juvenile Justice
