Jose Colon, one of the men convicted of killing Massachusetts State Trooper George Hanna back in 1983 is up for parole. Colon was 20 years old at the time of the murder and now qualifies for a parole hearing under the state’s new law that gives juveniles between the ages of 18-20 a second chance. Gov. Maura Healey wrote an opposition letter to the Parole Board this week, pushing against Colon’s release. Dan agrees with the governor and applauds her position on Colon. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey checked in.

On Wednesday evening in Minneapolis a second ICE involved shooting occurred. The Department of Homeland Security said a federal law enforcement officer shot an individual who fled a traffic stop then along with two other people began attacking the officer. With protests and tensions continuing in the streets of Minneapolis in the wake of two shootings in the last week, President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would bring in armed forces to suppress the protests in Minneapolis. Is that necessary? What are your thoughts on the President potentially bringing armed forces to the city of Minneapolis?
