Melissa in the Morning: Street Takeovers in CT

The latest reported street takeover in Connecticut is being called a targeted attack on police. It happened in East Haven and several people reportedly attacked the first responding officer to the takeover. It begs the question: are there enough penalties to combat this or does the police accountability law need to be tweaked? We asked State Senator Jason Perillo represents Connecticut’s 21st District, which includes Stratford, Seymour, Shelton, and Monroe where street takeovers have happened in the past. He also is a member of Connecticut’s Judiciary Committee.
