SAN ANTONIO – Doing something to change the current status quo on law enforcement actions across the state is personal for Representative Senfronia Thompson (D-Houston).
“I worry every day that my kids, my children are not killed just because the police stops them and they recognize they are Black,” she said.
The representative from Houston has a compilation of bills she’s introducing during the upcoming 87th legislative session that deals with police reform, called the George Floyd Act.
