A city doesn’t pay $30 million unless something went seriously wrong.

In this episode we break down and examine the San Diego police shooting of 16-year-old Canoa Wilson, who was shot in the back while running from gunfire.

We break down what the headlines don’t explain:

- Why this settlement was unavoidable
- How video evidence shifted the entire case
- What fear, training, and intent mean in real-world policing
- Why the officer hasn’t been charged
- How this case could redefine police use-of-force standards nationwide

This is a sober, experienced look at one decision, one bullet, and the pressure points that forced one of the largest police settlements in U.S. history.
