INVESTIGATING USE OF FORCE

A traffic stop for an alleged seatbelt violation led to chaos and an Orlando police officer’s knee on a man’s neck. Investigative Reporter Daralene Jones got a tip about the case in the weeks following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The Orlando officers initiated the traffic stop as a woman was pulling into her driveway. Days after Daralene’s initial investigation, the Orlando police chief pledged to review how the department handles traffic stops.
