Cities across the U.S. are grappling with how to reform their police departments — or start over altogether — as one killing of Black person by police after another makes headlines. But in Nashville, like in most places, change has never been quick or easy. In this episode, we explore just how difficult it can be to spark real change. And why so many past reforms have failed to earn Black residents' trust. Credits: WPLN News Investigates: Deadly Force is a production of Nashville Public Radio.
