The State Of Trump's Union - Janeé Harteau
The State of Trump's Union is a 10-part series airing on The Last Word in the run-up to the US election in November.
We'll be talking to a variety of people with informed views about the issues dividing and uniting the United States, where the country is politically, socially and economically, the dangers it's facing, where power lies and how it is used.
This week's guest is Janeé Harteau, former Minneapolis Chief of Police.
She spoke to Matt about attitudes to the police in America, systemic racism and the Black Lives Matter protests, her involvement in the documentary Women in Blue, gun control and her hopes for the future of the United States.
