DENVER â The pressure is on Congress after repeated calls from President Joe Biden to pass police reform legislation by the anniversary of George Floyd's death.
In the meantime, Democratic U.S. Rep. Jason Crow said he's not waiting to introduce more measures of accountability for law enforcement.
"We shouldn't be surprised by things continuing to happen unless we do something to change it. Things will continue to happen unless you do things to correct course and you change policies," Crow said.
