May 25 marked the one-year anniversary of the police killing of George Floyd, which sparked the largest civil rights protests in U.S. history and forced America to reexamine racism and policing. NJ Spotlight News interviewed two leading figures in New Jersey’s debate on policing issues with contrary views on what has changed in the past year, what has not and where we’re heading.
The second interview in the series features Pat Colligan, president of the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association, the state’s largest police union with over 30,000 members. Colligan warns of what he says is the current demonization of police officers. And he details why he and his union oppose several of the reforms proposed in the wake of Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.
