“It was one of the great disappointments of the last session,” said Sen. Jeff Irwin, D-Ann Arbor, who sponsored police training legislation that died when the House failed to take it up by the end of 2020, choosing to approve its own version instead.
“It seems to me that there are a few ideas in that area that we should be able to come together on, and improving (police) training is perhaps the most obvious and easiest area of compromise and collaboration,” Irwin told Bridge Michigan.
Police practices remain under scrutiny this month following the deaths of Daunte Wright in Minnesota and 13-year-old Adam Toledo in Chicago, along with the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is facing murder charges after kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nine minutes during an arrest on May 25.
