Legislators reintroduced the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to the Senate. The bill's sponsors aim to create federal police reform.
Senate Democrats this week reintroduced what some have described as the most comprehensive bill to reform law enforcement— the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. On Tuesday, lawmakers including U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin , D-Ill., continued late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee ’s efforts to get the bill passed. “The image of George Floyd dying with a police officer’s knee on his neck haunts me to this day,” wrote Durbin on X, formerly Twitter .
Opinion: Has nothing changed since George Floyd's murder? “The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act was reintroduced in the Senate today, nearly a month after Sonya Massey, a Black woman, was murdered in her home by a white police officer,” wrote the ACLU on Twitter, formerly X. “The Senate has neglected to hold a vote on this bill for years despite bipartisan passage in the House.
