Black Agenda Radio · The Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence

In his book, "The Coroner’s Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence," Dr. Terence Keel investigates how coroners and medical examiners omit key information about police actions, often falsely attributing deaths to a preexisting health condition or to the victim’s own actions, covering up for police and preventing families and communities from achieving justice.
