California Gov. Newsom Signs A Cluster Of Police Misconduct Bills
HuffPost
One of the new laws will allow the state to decertify police over misconduct, essentially banning them from law enforcement.
Surrounded by people who’ve lost family members to police shootings, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a cluster of bills Thursday aimed at combating misconduct in law enforcement.
The most notable of those bills allows the state to decertify police officers over misconduct and establishes a process for doing so. Decertification essentially removes that officer’s license to work in law enforcement. Up until now, California was one of only four states without decertification power.
“Too many lives have been lost due to racial profiling and excessive use of force,” Newsom said at Thursday’s signing. “We cannot change what is past, but we can build accountability, root out racial injustice and fight systemic racism. We are all indebted to the families who have persevered through their grief to continue this fight and work toward a more just future.”
