What you need to know about police shootings across Arizona

In 2018, police shootings hit record levels in Phoenix. Reporters
with The Arizona Republic investigated the state's police shootings
for 19 months and found that the deadly trend extends across
Arizona. There were 117 police shootings statewide — a 75% increase
from the previous year. After compiling data from all 15 counties
in Arizona, reporters Uriel J. Garcia and Bree Burkitt identified
some key factors: guns, aggressive behavior, mental illness,
training, and police culture. This week's episode of The Gaggle
podcast breaks down what you need to know from Garcia and Burkitt's
investigation. To read the report mentioned in this episode visit
