Indianapolis residents got to hear directly from the police and ask questions about trust, accountability, and changes they would like to see.
INDIANAPOLIS — Just days after IMPD released edited body camera video of a deadly officer-involved shooting, the community got the chance to voice their concerns tonight at a pair of town halls.
"There's no need for him to be in the ground. They could have let him go and come back later, they knew who he was," said a woman who was visibly upset at the town hall."That's got to stop. There's no justification for shooting a person anyone in the back or shooting into the car. That was one of the policies that you said was going to be initiated," said a man speaking at the community town hall.
The Northwest Community Resource District Council hosted the town hall to create a space where IMPD and the community could come together and have a healthy conversation about policies and procedures. "And that's the reason for this forum you know we don't pretend to know everything. It's important to get the community's input in these types of situations because they are very tragic," said Commander Lorenzo Lewis with IMPD Northwest District.PREVIOUS | IMPD to speak with community members regarding an Aug. officer-involved shooting
