Democrats will also unveil a sweeping package addressing police reforms, the first major legislative response to George Floyd's killing and protests against police brutality across the nation.
WASHINGTON – House Democrats will stand in silence for eight minutes and 46 seconds at a ceremony on Capitol Hill Monday to honor George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck as he lay handcuffed in the street.
Lawmakers will pay respects to Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, all unarmed black individuals whose deaths have spurred worldwide demonstrations against racism and police brutality. The proposed legislation aims to bolster accountability of offices and create a program to track problematic officers in a national registry. It also aims to end practices such as the use of no-knock warrants and chokeholds. And it would end qualified immunity for police officers, thereby making them personally liable for constitutional violations, such as excessive force.
More than 40 bills have been floated by House Democrats over the last week or two as they seek to move quickly on legislative changes.
