Derek Chauvin And MPD Sued

In this week’s State of Criminal Justice, we’ll cover new lawsuits filed against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, Michigan prisons banning non-English books, and an incarcerated father’s battle in court. In our New Ground segment we’ll discuss an anti-police student walkout in Chicago.
