Michigan bills push police changes year after Floyd death

Michigan bills push police changes year after Floyd death DAVID EGGERT, Associated Press FacebookTwitterEmail LANSING, Mich. (AP) Michigan lawmakers unveiled bipartisan bills Tuesday that would require updated use-of-force policies and make changes designed to hold police accountable for misconduct a year after the slaying of George Floyd in Minnesota. The Senate legislation would, among other things, let a state agency revoke the license of an officer who has used excessive force causing death or serious injuries. The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards also would be required to develop guidelines for independent investigations of officer-involved deaths. Each law enforcement agency would have to adopt a use-of-force policy that emphasizes de-escalation techniques unless they are not feasible, includes a continuum of proportional responses and requires an officer to exhaust all other alternatives before using deadly force.

One year after George Floyd murder, lawmakers propose Michigan police reforms

  Unfortunately we can t bring George Floyd back, Chang told Bridge Michigan on Tuesday, the anniversary of his death. We can t bring back Breonna Taylor. We can t bring these individuals that we ve lost to police violence, but we can make changes that could prevent those tragedies from happening. Among the bills, Senate Republicans are lead sponsors on proposals that would ban police officers from using chokeholds, except to save a life, and would establish a clear and legal duty to intervene for officers that witness colleagues abusing their authority. Democratic-sponsored measures would ban the use of no-knock warrants, except in certain circumstances, and require the state to set new standards for training officers in de-escalation techniques and ways to avoid implicit bias.
