In The Moment … June 18, 2020 Show 841 Hour 1
The killing of George Floyd by a now-fired Minneapolis police officer was captured on video by citizens. That video has been shocking and difficult to watch for many police officers across the nation, even as many people of color found the scenario all too familiar. Rapid City Police Chief Karl Jegeris is leaving his office during a tumultuous cultural moment. SDPB's Kevin Woster wanted to know what Jegeris thought of the video, of new calls for defunding the police, and whether or not the current civil unrest in the U.S. contributed to Jegeris's decision to leave the profession.
