Henry Glover was last seen alive in the backseat of a white Chevy Malibu on Sept. 2, 2005, just days after Hurricane Katrina hit. His charred remains would later be discovered on the banks of the Mississippi River, inside a car that had apparently been set on fire. FRONTLINE, in partnership with ProPublica and The Times-Picayune, dug into Glover’s death and a number of incidents in which police shot civilians in New Orleans in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The investigation revealed that, in the midst of post-Katrina chaos, law-enforcement commanders issued orders to ignore long-established rules governing use of deadly force.
