Washington Governor Signs Sweeping Police Reform Package Into Law

The legislation was prompted by public outrage following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other Black people at the hands of police.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed one of the country's most ambitious police reform packages on Tuesday.  The legislation was prompted by public outrage following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other Black people at the hands of police.  The dozen new laws ban police from using chokeholds, neck restraints and no-knock warrants – as well as restrict use of tear gas and car chases.
