Episode Details

A week after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Macklin Good, a federal officer shot a man in the leg in north Minneapolis. The man suffered non-life-threatening injuries, but the city is once again reeling from the display of force. City Cast producer Adam Sage reports back from the aftermath, where law enforcement set off chemical irritants and flash bangs against protesters. Plus, contributor and reporter Winter Keefer explains what it means for President Trump to threaten the use of the Insurrection Act. Finally, we celebrate some much-needed Twin Cities wins.
