“There’s no real progress when people are in chaos,” Illinois State Representative, La Shawn Ford, tells The Epoch Times’ Jan Jekielek. After the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, he said, “we knew we needed to tone it down.”
The legislator shares about his current efforts to deal with civilian violence with a new approach, including granting media access to police scanners. The press should be “seen as a partner with law enforcement,” he says.
