Episode Details

A one-year-old boy, Kohen Wiley, was fatally shot during a police pursuit in Mississippi after officers responded to a shoplifting call — sparking outrage and renewed calls for police accountability.

This tragedy echoes similar fatal incidents involving Black individuals over minor offenses, fueling national conversations about racial justice and police conduct.
