Alabama House Democrats push for more police and criminal justice reform after Chauvin verdict Updated 2:53 PM; Today 2:53 PM Montgomery police officers hold signs showing support for protesters at a Justice for George Floyd event last year at the Alabama Department of Archives and History. (Mike Cason/[email protected]) Facebook Share Law enforcement accountability remains a top concern for Alabama Democrats heading into the final weeks of this year’s legislative session.
