(ABC 6 News) - It has now been a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, joined by civil unrest not only in our country but primarily in Minnesota.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Monday the Minneapolis Mayor and Police Chief announced officers will no longer be allowed to turn off their body cameras to talk privately when they respond to calls.
