National Press Club hosts screening of 'Documenting Police Use of Force' on June 3, 6 p.m.

With the recent anniversary of George Floyd's death, the National Press Club's Events Team is hosting a screening of  "Documenting Police Use of Force" and panel discussion on Monday, June 3 at 6 p.m. in the Club's Fourth Estate.

The event is free for Club members and their guests. Reservations are required.

The panel expects to include the Frederick News-Post's Ceoli Jacoby, Frontline's Serginho Roosblad and Georgetown University's Andrea M. Headley. Club member and AP Global Vice President Ron Nixon plans to moderate the panel.

Frontline and The Associated Press, in collaboration with the Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism, investigate deaths that occurred after police used tactics like prone restraint and other “less-lethal force.” The documentary and accompanying reporting draw on police records, autopsy reports and body cam footage, offering the most expansive tally of such deaths nationwide.

There also expects to be a discussion about the use of the Lethal Restraint database that any reporter can use in their work.
