One year after George Floyd s death, families of victims say we need you to act By Erin Donaghue Police reform a year after Floyd s death
Families of police killing victims had a common message as they spoke Monday on a panel marking the first anniversary of George Floyd s death when it comes to meaningful change, actions speak louder than words. They called on federal legislators to pass the police reform bill the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, legislation they say could prevent other families from experiencing the pain of losing a loved one to police violence. If they would have passed bills before this, my son would have been here right now, said Katie Wright, the mother of Daunte Wright, who was killed by a Minnesota police officer last month. My son would have been here. George Floyd would have been here.
