 House lawmakers introduce bipartisan police reform legislation
==========

House lawmakers have introduced bipartisan police reform legislation called the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. The bill aims to address issues of police misconduct and accountability. It includes provisions such as banning chokeholds, ending no-knock warrants in drug cases, and creating a national registry of police misconduct. The legislation also seeks to change the legal standard for prosecuting police officers and make it easier to sue officers for misconduct. The bill was introduced by Representatives Karen Bass and Jerrold Nadler, and has support from civil rights organizations and activists. It comes after widespread protests against police brutality and calls for reform following the killing of George Floyd.
