2020 MO Governor's race: on Crime

Mike Parson: Time to stand up and support law enforcement

Q: Restrict police use of force and increase public oversight?

Mike Parson: No. "Now is the time to `stand up and support' law enforcement." Officers need to have the "tools" to fight violent criminals.

Nicole Galloway: Yes. Supports ban on choke holds and no-knock warrants. "The disparities in our criminal justice system are real." Must make Missouri accountable to all citizens.

Nicole Galloway: Need answers on probation, parole reward program

Many Ozarks sheriffs say the new rules are too soft on crime, and believe it rewards offenders for behavior they say isn't deserving of rewards, specifically to people on Probation or parole. "These are basic questions to answer that need to be answered from a governmental entity on how they're handling this program that's giving away incentives to offenders on parole," said Galloway. "Law enforcement, sheriffs, and crime victims have valid questions that need to be answered." Source: KY3-News on 2020 Missouri gubernatorial race Feb 26, 2020
