How non-lethal police tactics led to 1,000 deaths
An investigation found that between 2012 and 2021, more than 1,000 people died after police used physical force that's considered non-lethal. That includes batons, stun guns, physical restraints and chemical agents. Only 28 of the officers involved faced criminal charges. Reese Dunklin of the Associated Press was part of the team leading the investigation and discussed the report with John Yang.
