The Friday, May 29, 2020 edition of "MPR News with Kerri Miller” was consumed by the protests over the murder of George Floyd, a black man, on Monday, May 25, when a white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, compressed Mr. Floyd's neck with his knee for nearly nine minutes as three other officers stood by, not intervening. It starts with a discussion of the "bad apple" theory of law enforcement as presented in a May 28 "Washington Post" editorial by Seth W. Stoughton, associate professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law, police consultant Jeffrey J. Noble, and Geoffrey Alpert, professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of South Carolina. Also mentioned is Floyd Family attorney Benjamin Crump's 2019 book "Open Season: Legalized Genocide of Colored People."

Ronal Serpas, professor of practice, criminology, and justice at Loyola University in New Orleans and former Superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department, Chief of the Nashville Police Department, and Chief of the Washington State Highway Patrol
