A proposal to impose sweeping restrictions on police tactics and techniques in Washington is highlighting stark differences of opinion between police and reform groups.
That divide was on display Tuesday in the House Public Safety committee during a lengthy, virtual public hearing on an omnibus bill sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Jesse Johnson. His measure, which is co-sponsored by several other Democrats, would ban:
Chokeholds and neckholds
The use of tear gas
The acquisition and use of military-grade equipment
Methods to obscure identifiable information on police badges
No-knock warrants
Shooting at a moving vehicle
In making the case for his legislation, Johnson, who s the vice chair of the Public Safety committee, said most officers do their jobs with honor and with respect to the profession.
