Rep. Pramilia Jayapal (D-Seattle) on Monday, June 8, introduced the Justice in Policing Act, which would implement police accountability and reform measures, including establishing a federal police misconduct registry; making lynching a federal hate crime; ending qualified immunity; requiring reporting of all incidents of use of force to the Justice Department; banning chokeholds and no-knock warrants; restricting the transfer of military equipment to local police; and increasing accountability, oversight, and transparency.
Jayapal's 7th Congressional District includes Edmonds.
Jayapal will have a virtual town hall Wednesday, June 10, at 6 p.m. She'll be joined by the Rev. Dr. Kelle Brown of Seattle's Plymouth Church and Gerald Hankerson, president of the NAACP Alaska, Oregon and Washington State Area Conference.
