Summary

"Five years ago, Philando Castile was pulled over for a broken tail light. That interaction with the police eventually led to Castile's death After an officer shot him seven times. These kinds of traffic stops for minor violations have targeted Black drivers at disproportionately higher rates. And now Philadelphia has banned low-level traffic stops, making it the first major city in the country to do so. That law goes into effect early next year, and Philadelphia Councilmember Isaiah Thomas spearheaded that legislation. He says his motivation came in part from his own experience as a Black man born and raised in Philadelphia" (Ailsa Chang)(www.NPR.org)
