Two police officers and a suspect in Barron County, WI were killed during an exchange of gunfire at a traffic stop, according to the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
MADISON (WKOW) - While a jury in Minneapolis deliberated in the trial of Derek Chauvin Tuesday, a collection of activists and law enforcement professionals finalized its set of police reform recommendations in Wisconsin.
The members were part of a subcommittee on the Speaker s Task Force on Racial Disparities, formed following the August Kenosha police shooting that left Jacob Blake paralyzed.
The subcommittee is set to release 17 recommendations as soon as Wednesday morning, according to the office of task force co-chair, Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke (R-Kaukauna.)
Based on the discussions Tuesday, those recommendations will include reforms related to banning chokeholds, limiting the circumstances under which no-knock warrants can be served, creating an independent use-of-force review board, and requiring officers to intervene and report when another cop uses excessive force.
