Outcry over deadly police encounters fuels successful legislative push in Washington Apr 26, 2021
Last yearâs protests against police killings and calls for racial justice have resulted in a landmark legislative session in Washington state.
Before lawmakers adjourned Sunday, they passed more than a dozen bills aimed at transforming police culture and increasing accountability.
One new law requires that police officers attempt to de-escalate dangerous situations; it makes deadly force a last resort (HB 1310). Another law makes it easier to decertify officers for misconduct so they canât simply switch jobs (SB 5051).
