LANSING, Nov. 20, 2024 ~ A slate of police reform legislation is getting another chance after the Michigan State Senate re-introduced it this week.

The Democrat-controled legislature introduced bills that would change no-knock warrants, make definitions of “use-of-force” more strict, and make police officers intervene when they witness other officers using excessive force. The bills were originally introduced following the police murder of George Floyd in 2020, but was slapped down under the Republican-controlled state legislature.

PODCAST:

Nov. 20, 2024 ~ State senators are reintroducing several police reform initiatives after temporarily shelving the legislation following the murder of George Floyd. Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police Robert Stevenson joins Guy Gordon, Lloyd Jackson, and Jamie Edmonds to discuss if they will accept the proposals.
