Policing

The killing of George Floyd sparked a response unlike anything we have seen in many years.

Where do we go from here?For tonight’s discussion, YLR Host Jeff Hayden, with tonight's co-host Josh Borger, is joined by San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos, and Redwood City Attorney and legal and political commentator Dean Johnson.Questions for Jeff and his guests?
