27:13Now PlayingInjustice In Phoenix: Breaking Down The Fatal Police Shooting Of Jacob Harris | Meg O'Connor | TMR
The Appeal's Meg O'Connor joins the program to discuss the police shooting of Jacob Harris. Roland Harris has endured the traumatic experience of witnessing his son, Jacob, being killed by police, replaying the horrifying moments in his mind countless times. Jacob's final moments, captured on thermal video, show him running from the police before being shot multiple times and attacked by a police dog. Four years have passed since the incident, and Roland's quest for justice has been met with obstacles and unanswered questions. The Phoenix police have been uncooperative, deleting text messages and withholding information about Jacob's death. Roland's wrongful death suit was dismissed, and he now faces the demand to pay the officer's attorney fees. As Roland seeks answers and justice, memories of Jacob remain vivid, portraying a young man who was dedicated to his family and took on responsibilities at a young age. The Appeal's investigation into the case reveals inconsistencies and false statements made by law enforcement officials about the circumstances of the shooting. Despite evidence suggesting police misconduct, the officer who killed Jacob was deemed to have acted within policy. Instead, Harris's three friends who were in the car with him that night were charged with his murder, facing lengthy prison sentences. The case highlights the disparity in accountability and the impact on marginalized communities when seeking justice for police violence. Reed, one of Jacob's friends, who was only 14 years old at the time, has been incarcerated with adults and endured solitary confinement, adding to the anguish experienced by the families involved.
