The George Floyd Justice In Policing Act of 2020 also known as H.R.7120 could play a huge role in holding officers accountable for police brutality incidences, but the fate of the legislation is still in limbo since it was passed by the house in June of last year. On the first anniversary of George Floyd's death, BOSSIP has the rundown on the H.R. 7120 bill and what it could mean for the future of policing in America.
The House has passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing act to reform law enforcement. The new law will ban neck restraints, no-knock warrants during federal drug cases, and will bring reform to qualified immunity that prevents many offending officers from being personally sued for civil rights infractions.
