Protesters march on September 7 following the release of video evidence that showed the death of Daniel Prude while in the custody of Rochester Police in Rochester, N.Y.

Daniel Prude was shot and killed by police in Rochester, N.Y., after his brother called 911 on March 23. Joe Prude told NPR his brother was having a mental health crisis.

Calls like that make up an estimated 20% of police calls. NPR's Eric Westervelt reports that efforts to reform how police respond with crisis intervention teams have fallen short.

And as protests for racial justice have continued, public support for the Black Lives Matter movement has fallen especially among white Americans. NPR's Brian Mann and Elizabeth Baker explain why activists say they need more support from white protesters.
