Podcast with Pittsburgh's own Leon Ford .
In November 2012, Leon Ford was pulled over by two Pittsburgh police officers. It was a routine traffic stop—at least, it was supposed to be, until one of the officers, who is white, mistook Ford, who is black, for a wanted gang member. Ford was able to confirm his identity with a license, insurance, and registration papers. Nonetheless, one of the officers jumped into Ford’s car and attempted to forcibly remove him from it. Ford was unarmed and terrified. He resisted. One of the officers shot him five times.
