Police Shootings
It’s a provocative new look at the killings of unarmed civilians by police.
Police detective Nick Selby has taken an in-depth look into this hot topic.
Are police being fair? Are they targeting African-Americans? Are they treating minorities differently? In his new book, In Context: Understanding Police Killings of Unarmed Civilians, Selby seeks the answers to these questions.
Nick Selby joins us with a look at the complicated picture of this issue.
Stroke
Clinical stroke trials at the Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville are giving new hope to people who otherwise were past the window for minimally invasive treatment.
About 795,000 Americans each year suffer a new or recurrent stroke, according to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
On average, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds and is the number five cause of death taking nearly 129,000 lives a year. Stroke is also the leading cause of long-term disability.
May is National Stroke Awareness Month.
