Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell expressed concern about Colorado Senate Bill 217 and the long-term effects on the nation’s law enforcement officers.
“The bill is a knee-jerk reaction and a result of what happened in Minneapolis,” Mikesell said, referring to the police killing of George Floyd. “There are 700,000 law enforcement officers in the United States; the actions of one, and the few who were there with him, have now caused this bill to affect Colorado officers who weren’t involved in the situation.”
