Two Indianapolis police officers are set to stand trial for their involvement in the death of a Black man who died after being shocked with a Taser and restrained during a mental health crisis at his parents' residence. The incident, which has drawn significant public attention, raises critical questions about the treatment of individuals experiencing mental health emergencies and the use of force by law enforcement.
The officers are accused of using excessive force when responding to a call regarding the man’s mental health episode.
