Nothing is won in advance
“With the Justice in Policing Act, it's not about making marginal changes; it's about taking bold steps that will lead to real change for law enforcement and the communities they serve. We celebrate the rejection of an immunity that should have disappeared a long time ago, insisting that the police should not be above the law and that bad police should be held accountable and victims should be empowered. recourse ”, add the signatories.
In conclusion, this open letter calls on the members of the congress to vote for the reform which has already been presented to them. Nevertheless, the text will have to be studied by the two chambers, but also must be approved by the president before, perhaps, becoming law.
