More To The Story - Police Bodycam Outrage in Asheville

Asheville Citizen-Times 'Community Engagement Editor' Casey Blake was guest of this More to the Story from March 21, 2018.  Casey recapped the story about the body-cam video of a former Asheville Police Officer seen beating a man, who was being taken in to custody for jaywalking.  While the footage was from August 2017, it was not known about until it showed up in the hands of the Citizen-Times in February of this year.  Charges have since been filed against the former officer, while the victim is suing both the Police Dept. and the City of Asheville.  Listen now for all those details and more.
