Ben Crump says bipartisan group of lawmakers committed to "meaningful" police reform legislation

A bipartisan group of lawmakers working on police reform have promised "meaningful" legislation on the issue, according to civil rights attorney Ben Crump. Crump described the "very emotional" meeting he and family members of several Black men killed by police had with lawmakers on Capitol Hill last week.

"The families bared their heart out. They told those legislators that this proposed legislation will have our families' blood on it so it has to be meaningful. They all committed that it would be meaningful legislation, not watered down legislation," Crump said in an interview with CBSN anchor Anne-Marie Green on Thursday.  President Biden has called on Congress to pass police reform by May 25, the one-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd, who was pinned down under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer. Floyd's death sparked nationwide protests over police brutality against Black Americans. The former officer, Derek Chauvin, was convicted of murder in April.
