The Southern Center for Human Rights recently held a series of conversations called the Community Safety and Police Violence Town Hall series. Tiffany Williams Roberts, who serves as the public policy director for the Southern Center for Human Rights, discussed the findings from the series and how the SCHR is using data from the national Police Scorecard, APD's data on racial disparities in policing in Atlanta, public health studies and research from Atlanta residents to inform policy solutions. 

 

Plus, defense attorney David West discusses what’s next after Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr’s indicted 61 people on racketeering charges following a state investigation into the ongoing protests against the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
