LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Three Los Angeles city councilmen today introduced a resolution to support the U.S. House of Representatives proposed George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which seeks to hold officers accountable in court, restrict certain police practices, enhance transparency and data collection and improve police training requirements. H.R. 1280 would make systematic reforms to policing in the United States by creating a `National Police Misconduct Registry to collect data on misconduct allegations for police departments nationwide, dissolving qualified immunity from liability for peace officers, banning some types of no-knock warrants and choke holds, and by encouraging significant reform to police training and policies, stated the motion, which was introduced by Councilmen Mark Ridley-Thomas, Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Curren Price.
