"Controversy Surrounds Fatal Police Shooting of Najee Seabrooks in Paterson, NJ"

Newly released audio and video recordings show the tense negotiations between police and Najee Seabrooks, a local violence intervention worker, during an hours-long standoff in Paterson, New Jersey. Seabrooks grew increasingly paranoid and threatened to kill himself and an officer. Despite attempts to negotiate, Seabrooks leapt from the bathroom with a knife in his hand, and police fatally shot him. The incident has sparked calls for a federal civil rights probe and reform to how police respond to mental health crises.
