TV One’s ‘Two Sides’ explores 2014 shooting of John Crawford

Posted by | Ray Cornelius 

TONIGHT’s episode of TV One’s original series “Two Sides” will evaluate and present multiple points of view of the controversial case involving John Crawford III, who was shot by officers while carrying a BB gun at a Wal-Mart store in Beavercreek, Ohio.

Crawford was only 22-years-old at the time of his death in August 2014. A grand jury failed to indict Officer Sean Williams and Sgt. David Darkow, leading to protests by members of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Executive produced by Academy Award® winner Viola Davis, Julius Tennon (JuVee Productions), and Lemuel Plummer (L. Plummer Media) with narration by Davis, “Two Sides” examines watershed moments for law enforcement and the Black community at the crossroads between life and death. The series focuses on four headline-grabbing fatal police encounters during 2014 – 2015, including Eric Garner, Ezell Ford, and Sandra Bland.
