The one-hour special, entitled <em>What Happened to Anton Black?, <\/em>investigates the warning signs the town of Greensboro, Maryland received about Thomas Webster, the officer who initially chased Black after receiving a 911 call that Black had been dragging another boy down the street, unaware that the two boys had known each other for years. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/dateline\/video\/dateline-friday-preview-what-happened-to-anton-black-145270341972\"><em><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/em><\/a> to watch a preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the broadcast, Anton\u2019s parents and sister open up about his death, which occurred after Webster, two additional police officers and a bystander restrained him on his front porch.&nbsp;Anton\u2019s father tells Holt that Anton didn\u2019t \u201c<strong>attack<\/strong>\u201d anyone or \u201c<strong>rob a bank<\/strong>,\u201d explaining, \u201c<strong>He&#8217;s at his mother&#8217;s doorstep.

Johnson tells Holt that Black\u2019s death was a tragedy, but he didn\u2019t \u201c<strong>see any indication of malice\u201d<\/strong> after watching the bodycam footage, adding that he thought it met \u201c<strong>the professional standard<\/strong>.\u201d When pressed, Johnson also told Holt, \u201c<strong>I could tell you with some degree of certainty that Thomas Webster should not have been a Greensboro police officer at all.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/dateline\/video\/president-of-law-enforcement-legal-defense-fund-speaks-to-dateline-about-anton-black-19-year-old-who-died-while-being-taken-into-police-custody-145399365661\">Click here<\/a><\/strong><\/em> to watch the exchange<strong>. <\/strong>No charges were filed against Webster, and Black\u2019s death was ruled accidental.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, <em>What Happened to Anton Black? <\/em>spotlights the parallels between the death of Black and the death of George Floyd, including that the same chief medical examiner reviewed both cases.
