Dr. Rashad Richey plays bodycam footage of officers running from a Mississippi store into a parking lot, confronting a moving silver car and firing as it drives away. He then returns to the central question of his segment: why did a response to an alleged diaper theft end in a child's death?

The Indisputable host examines the footage alongside the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation's initial account, which said the driver drove toward officers and nearly struck one. Mississippi's attorney general ruled the shooting justified. Richey disputes that conclusion, arguing that officers had room to avoid the vehicle and questioning the timing of the gunfire.

The distinction matters throughout the segment: the official account describes a threat to officers, while Richey argues that the footage undermines the justification for lethal force. He also reads the legal basis cited in the ruling and questions why the case was not submitted to a grand jury.

The video drew nearly six times the channel's usual first-day comments, although its views were ordinary for Indisputable. Viewers focus on why a suspected shoplifting incident brought drawn weapons and whether firing into the departing car was justified. Those comments are reactions, not independent evidence about what happened.

Richey's demand is for public scrutiny of the footage itself: "Let the people decide. Let them see the video."
