I have just spoken with @SenFeinstein, Ranking Member on @senjudiciary, about the horrific death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis.
Both of us are appalled at what we saw and believe it is important to have a hearing as soon as possible as to how to combat this outrage.
The Committee intends to call a wide variety of witnesses on the topics of better policing, addressing racial discrimination regarding the use of force, as well as building stronger bonds between communities and police.
We intend to shine a bright light on the problems associated with Mr. Floyd’s death, with the goal of finding a better way forward for our nation.
