D.C. City Council Approves Police Reform Legislation

The DC Council passed police reform legislation in response to the George Floyd protests. The bill criminalizes neck restraints, mandates the release of body cam footage, and restricts hiring officers with misconduct history. Mayor Bowser opposes the body cam provision, while the police union claims the bill endangers officers. The legislation is valid for 90 days, with a potential extension to 225 days pending further votes and public hearings.
