Michigan lawmakers pursue police reform after Floyd death
Michigan lawmakers push sweeping changes amid calls for police reform led by Attorney General Dana Nessel and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy. The 13 bill Senate package would ban no knock warrants and chokeholds, require intervention for misconduct, standardize investigations, revoke licenses for excessive force, and mandate use of force de escalation training. House Democrats back similar measures while tensions linger over funding shifts and qualified immunity, with activists citing Floyd and Taylor cases to press action.
