“When I Think about This Moment... We Missed It” MADISON – In reaction to the passage earlier today of all of the policing bills originating from the Speaker’s Task Force on Racial Disparities, State Rep. David Bowen (D-Milwaukee) released the following statement: “I wish I could stand here and say that I am overjoyed at the passage earlier today of all of the police reform legislation from the Speakers’ Task Force on Racial Disparities, but that would not be the truth. The reality is that these bills do not meet the urgency of the moment. For over a year, people across our nation have been marching and demanding change, and here today, after months of delaying tactics, we were presented with these watered-down ‘reforms.’ Today, when I think about this moment in history and what it demands from us; well, we missed it.”
