No American is above the law. Every officer involved in the murder of George Floyd must be brought to justice. But that is not enough.
Here’s a start of what Congress can do to address the epidemic of police brutality:
• Create a national database of officers who've used excessive force and ban their hiring
• Stop giving military weapons to police departments
• Require transparency in police records & budgets

I’m backing a resolution by @RepPressley, @Ilhan, @RepKarenBass, & @RepBarbaraLee to condemn police brutality and call for reforms. We cannot tolerate officers’ continued failure to keep people safe in their custody or police in ways that reinforce racial injustices.
