Three police officers are on trial in Minnesota for their role in George Floyd's murder. The case centers on their “duty to intervene” in the actions of Derek Chauvin. But some are asking: How do you teach cops to stand up to other cops? Read more:Former Minneapolis police officers J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas K. Lane and Tou Thao are facing trial on federal charges that they deprived George Floyd of his federal civil rights in the fatal May 2020 arrest. Reporter Holly Bailey has been reporting on the courtroom proceedings — a process that's played out much differently than in Chauvin's trial. “It feels like we're really going to get deep into what police officers in Minneapolis are trained to do, and how exactly they are trained,” Bailey says.In the aftermath of Floyd's death and Chauvin's conviction, police departments around the country have been seeking out training in “bystander intervention” — teaching police officers how to speak up when their colleagues are doing something harmful. “For decades and decades, we've been teaching police officers about intervention, but we've been doing it really badly,” says Jonathan Aronie of the Sheppard Mullin law firm, the co-founder of the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement Project. “All we do is we give them a PowerPoint and we say, ‘Thou shall intervene,' as though it's easy. And we've never, ever taught the skills of intervention.”

By Adam Turteltaub adam.turteltaub@corporatecompliance.org “Section 889(a)(1)(A) of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 prohibits the Federal Government from procuring or obtaining, or extending or renewing a contract to procure or obtain, ‘any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system.” As Jonathan Aronie, partner at the law firm Sheppard Mullin explains, in practice that means the Federal Government is precluded from purchasing goods and services using technology from Huawei and four other companies. While the issue may seem distant, it’s far closer for companies than many realize. There are two parts of the legislation, Jonathan explains.  Part A already applies to regulations covering any technology from these companies in a product sold to the government and in a service performed for the government.  In August 2020, Part B kick in.  That covers the use of technology even if not in performance of a government contract.  It affects everything from laptops to phones to thermostats, even lab equipment and medical devices. Government contractors are likely to bear a substantial burden, but so too will higher education, IT and telecommunications, as well as healthcare and financial services. Listen in to learn more about the risk and what your organization should begin doing to comply with the regulation.

Jonathan Aronie, David Douglass and Scott Maberry, partners at Sheppard Mullin, join host Roger Waldron on this week's Off the Shelf to discuss the firm's new Organizationsl Integrity Group, which develops and implements compliance programs for companies and organizations that do business with the government.
