Thanks to high-profile cases, including the death of George Floyd, Minnesota has become an epicenter in the political battle over the use of force by law enforcement. As a result, the state has created new use of force laws, and they're not sitting well with some in law enforcement.
Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner, whose North Dakota jurisdiction bumps up against Minnesota's border, recently wrote a letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz asking him to exempt North Dakota cops from the new law so that they can continue to render assistance across the border.
Sheriff Jahner joins this episode of Plain Talk Live to discuss Minnesota's law, the problems he sees it posing to North Dakota law enforcement and the issue of the use of force by law enforcement in general.
