George Floyd Justice in Policing Act

The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is a proposed legislation aimed at addressing police misconduct and improving accountability in law enforcement. Prompted by George Floyd's death in 2020, it seeks to ban chokeholds, create a national database to track police misconduct, and prohibit racial profiling. The act also aims to enhance transparency in policing practices and promote community policing. Overall, it strives to reform policing in the United States to build trust between law enforcement and communities, particularly addressing systemic racial disparities and promoting fair treatment for all individuals.
