About this episode
It's been five years since widespread protests erupted after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd on May 25, 2020.
That murder, and the resulting national protests, led to numerous calls for police reform in communities around the country.
But the politics of policing have changed since 2024. Perceptions of crime and its relationship with immigration were central issues during the last presidential election, particularly for the Republican Party.
And now, the Trump administration says it's undoing recent federal efforts to supervise police reforms in certain cities.
We discuss where the end of those efforts leaves cities and police departments trying to be more accountable to those they're supposed to serve and protect.
