Gov. Newsom vows to work with the California Legislative Black Caucus and others on new use-of-force standards following the death of George Floyd.
After a week of protests across the state against police brutality and racial injustice, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday called for new restrictions on crowd control techniques and the use of force by law enforcement, including a ban on so-called “carotid holds,” after George Floyd was killed while in the custody of Minneapolis police.
The Democratic governor vowed to work with the California Legislative Black Caucus, community leaders and law enforcement officials on new use-of-force standards, and restrictions on how to respond to protests and demonstrations.“Protesters have the right not to be harassed. Protesters have the right to protest peacefully. Protesters have the right to do so without being arrested, gassed, shot up by projectiles,” Newsom said. “That’s a simple value statement.
In 1982, the Los Angeles Police Commission acted to limit the use of the carotid chokehold after after the death of James Mincey Jr., a 20-year-old black man who was put in a carotid hold after leading officers on a high-speed car chase.Advertisement Newsom on Thursday also announced his support for a proposal from Assemblywoman Shirley Weber to study the impact of slavery and consider potential reparations, a longtime priority of the California Legislative Black Caucus. Newsom this week also pointed to Weber’sthat he signed into law in 2019 as evidence of progress at the state level.
