Missouri prosecutor calls for reform to shield laws for police
After a third review found insufficient evidence to charge Darren Wilson over Michael Brown’s 2014 death, St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell urged lawmakers to change shield laws that protect police. Bell, a reformist elected in 2018, argues prosecutors are handcuffed by state protections, echoing civil rights leaders and the national reckoning sparked by George Floyd’s killing. Brown’s death, Wilson’s self defense claim, and lingering questions about accountability fuel calls for legal change amid ongoing debates on policing and justice.
