It’s been just over two weeks since the death of George Floyd. Thee 46-year-old’s death in police custody in Minneapolis has re-ignited a nationwide movement against the police killings of black Americans. Appleton Police Chief Todd Thomas joins us to share more about the conversations he’s had within the community following the death of Floyd. We also talk about the transparency the department has, their use of force documentation and recent “Inquire. Inform. Improve.” online platform.
The Appleton Flag Day parade won’t happen in its typical form, but as Corey Otis explains, there will be different ways to celebrate Old Glory.
