365 Amplified: Did Madison Police Cause a Man’s Death? Independent Monitor Says Yes.

Listen:

Today, we get caught up on a few news items — including Madison’s softball dominance, health advocates heading across the pond, and a young entrepreneur making a difference through totes — before digging into the Office of the Independent Monitor’s bombshell report on the in-custody death of Richard Lee Johnson in 2024. The report says Madison Police are responsible for his death through use of prone restraint, poor communication and negligence. Rob has seen the videos, and gives his assessment of the report and the Madison Police Department’s response. Then, Madison Common Council Vice President Carmella Glenn joins us to discuss that case and zoom out to consider the OIM and why she says it must maintain its independence.
