Six months after George Floyd was killed under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer, the city is still grieving and recovering.
MPD has struggled with high attrition, low morale and a rise in violent crime across the city—while facing calls for abolition of the department itself.
Our latest PBS NewsHour report features Lisa Clemons, a community activist and former cop who de-escalates violence and mentors young families in crisis through her organization, A Mother’s Love.
“The worst thing you can do is have cops just be 911 responders, because that means you're going to see people at their worst every day in your career. You are not going to have time to build relationships.”
