Doug Nadvornick talks with Monisha Harrell from Equal Rights Washington about her support for Initiative 940.

The ballot title for Washington Initative 940 reads: "This measure would require law enforcement to receive violence de-escalation, mental-health, and first-aid training, and provide first-aid; and change standards for use of deadly force, adding a "good faith" standard and independent investigation."

We talked about 940 with proponent Monisha Harrell and opponent Mike Solan.
