Police officers in New York state could only use physical force as a last resort, would have to meet a higher threshold for using deadly force and would face new criminal penalties for violating those guidelines under a sweeping legislative proposal unveiled Friday.
If adopted, the changes could drastically alter the nature of law enforcement in New York at a time when the issue of police accountability is at the center of a fraught national debate over persistent racism in America’s criminal justice system.
The legislation was proposed by Letitia James, the state’s attorney general, who said in a statement that her goal was to provide “clear and legitimate standards for when the use of force is acceptable and enacting real consequences for when an officer crosses that line.”
New York is another liberal shit hole
Well looks like all these big cities with the crime rates high as ever will be made war zones in America. How long is this going to be allowed??? Better hold on to your protection. Understand lots of Illegals crossing are bringing in stock supplies of weapons also.
