About this episode

Toni McBride discusses her experiences following a life-altering officer-involved shooting and the subsequent media backlash.

Former LAPD Officer Toni McBride survived a life-altering officer-involved shooting on April 22, 2020. She was cleared. She did everything right. But being right didn't protect her from what came next — the media firestorms, the public hatred, the departmental politics, the lawsuits, and the battle against an autoimmune disease that attacked her body just as the world was attacking her name.
