The bill, developed during a time of national focus on racial inequity and police shootings of Black residents one in Elizabeth City last week doesn’t include the most dramatic changes proposed by Democrats and a task force commissioned by Gov. Roy Cooper. It also would create or raise penalties against rioters who cause physical injury or significant property damage.
