Representative Pressley and Senator Markey have reintroduced a bill to eliminate qualified immunity. The bill was a re-file of legislation proposed last session in the wake of the death of George Floyd. They were joined by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representatives Jim McGovern, Seth Moulton and Katherine Clark and a number of others as co sponsors.These actions would put officers, communities and their citizens in harms way. The bill will ultimately end proactive policing as we know it and result in increased crime in our communities. Recruitment and retention will come to a grinding halt. Let these federal officials hear your voice and your disappointment at the abandonment of law enforcement across this country!
