Listen "The slow, flawed Louisville police investigation into Black teen's traffic stop"
Episode Synopsis
Tae-Ahn Lea was a senior at Central High School in 2018 when Louisville police cuffed him, patted him down and searched his car after the teenager made a wide turn in a high-crime neighborhood. Video of the stop went viral. Many in the community were outraged. But despite the attention, and all the police reforms promised in the wake of Breonna Taylor, the internal investigation into Lea's traffic stop failed to include the main detective involved and was swept under the rug by exception in 2020 after lingering untouched for months. Even today, the police department won't release the full file. WDRB reporters Gilbert Corsey and Jason Riley explain. Background: LMPD detective said he handcuffed teen in viral traffic stop to 'calm him down'
