Legislation that would limit the jurisdiction of municipal police officers who are enforcing local ordinances is in the state senate.
The bill was introduced in the House after an incident involving former Major League Baseball player and current ESPN analyst Doug Glanville.
Glanville was approached and questioned by a West Hartford police officer while shoveling snow in his Hartford driveway. The officer said Glanville fit the description of an African American man who was going door to door, which would violate a West Hartford solicitation ordinance.
Speaking on WNPR's The Colin McEnroe Show, Glanville said the legislation would prevent unnecessary interactions between law enforcement and the black community.
Glanville also talked about baseball, Baltimore, and protests on the show.
For the first time since the Baltimore Orioles played a historic game at home without a crowd, the team returns to Camden Yards. The O's had several "home" games moved to Tampa due to protests near their stadium.
Glanville discussed his reaction to how the Orioles handled the protests. Listen below:
