(KNSI) – Members of the Minnesota Legislature’s People of Color and Indigenous Caucus and United Black Legislative Caucus on Tuesday are detailing actions that DFL legislators will propose to improve law enforcement accountability after the shooting death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright by a Brooklyn Center police officer on Sunday.
The caucus members discussed several measures, like prohibiting peace officers from affiliating with white supremacist groups and banning the alteration and destruction of body camera footage.
“We currently have bills moving through the House that will strengthen the police officer misconduct database, that will allow local units of government to establish civilian oversight councils,” Rep. Cedrick Frazier, DFL-New Hope, said, “and fund community organizations working to prevent crime in their communities while addressing the need for community healing after traumatic events.”
