On this episode of Our American Stories, James King was just a 21-year-old college student walking to work in Grand Rapids when two men suddenly threw him to the ground. Thinking he was being mugged, he fought back until he realized his attackers were undercover law enforcement officers who had mistaken him for someone else. What followed were years of court battles, with King refusing to let the assault be swept aside. Backed by the Institute for Justice, he brought his case to the Supreme Court, transforming his own nightmare into a broader fight for justice and accountability.
