A crowd of people, including three members of Jim Rogers’ family, watched police footage in Homewood on Wednesday of Rogers’ fateful encounter with Pittsburgh police more than two years earlier, which preceded his death, an officer’s termination and a $8 million settlement with city officials. Attorney Todd J. Hollis, who represented Rogers’ family in the civil suit, released the video footage online Monday and screened it publicly for the first time in Homewood.

Madonna appears at the 30th annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York on May 4, 2019, in New York.
