Andre Allen believes Tuesday’s guilty verdicts in the case of George Floyd’s death can serve as a step in the right direction toward better community policing.
“I think this will be something that we ll look back in our history as a turning point,” said Allen, the outgoing chairman of Peoria’s Police-Community Relations committee who was recently elected as the next Fourth District city council member.
“I think it has an opportunity, even though it was a negative situation, to provide a lot of good when it comes to police accountability, which I think is very important when you re looking at how to build police and community relations.”
