(TriceEdneyWire.com) – The Congressional Black Caucus has introduced “The Justice in Policing Act of 2020,” legislation designed to make the nation’s police more accountable to the nation’s citizens, especially its black citizens, in the wake of the brutal in police custody death of George Floyd.

LISTING THE NAMES OF BLACKS KILLED BY POLICE

Karen Bass, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, called the out the names of other unarmed black men and women killed by police.

Bass (D., California) said the names of several victims before asking other members of the CBC to shout out the names of other black men and black women killed by police.

In the wake of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor’s murders, we must ask ourselves: how many more times must our families and our communities be put through the trauma of an unarmed black man or a woman’s killing at the hands of police who are sworn to protect and serve them?

U.S. POLICE KILL MORE PEOPLE THAN POLICE IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY

The CBC introduced the legislation on Monday, June 15, the same day it was reported that U.S. police kill more people than in any other developed country.
