Minnesota Attorney General Ellison Provides Further Explanation on Use of Force under SRO Law

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has issued a second legal clarification regarding a law that prohibits certain restraints by school resource officers (SROs). The law bans the use of restraints that restrict breathing, hinder communication, or place pressure on the neck, head, or torso. Ellison clarified that the law still allows for "reasonable force" to prevent injury or death, including physical contact when a student poses a threat to themselves or others. However, nearly 40 law enforcement agencies have suspended their SRO programs due to concerns about liability and potential sanctions. Republican lawmakers and law enforcement groups are urging Governor Tim Walz to call a special session to clarify the law.

"Controversy Surrounding Student Restraint Law Sparks Debate and Sheriff's Response"

The Solutions Not Suspension Coalition, a group supporting a new law in Minnesota that limits the use of restraints by school resource officers (SROs), defended the law's focus on de-escalation techniques and the prohibition of certain restraints and holds. While some law enforcement agencies have withdrawn SROs due to concerns about the law's lack of clarity, others have chosen to remain in schools. Republicans have called for a special session to address the law, but proponents argue that the law already includes exceptions for dangerous situations and that the special session would undermine efforts to prioritize student safety.

"Unearthed Roman Burial Reveals Mysterious Restraints on Elite Warrior"

Archaeologists have discovered the burial of an elite Roman man in Wales, dating back to the third or fourth century A.D. The skeleton was found facedown and adorned with a silver pin and a sword, suggesting he may have been a Roman soldier. However, the presence of large nails near his neck, back, and feet indicates that he may have been restrained at death. The man's personal ornaments and the presence of a silver crossbow-style brooch suggest he was an elite member of the Roman military. The burial also included the remains of hobnailed boots and evidence of mastoiditis, a bacterial infection. The reasons for the prone burial position and the discovery of other atypical burials in Roman Britain remain a mystery.
