Gov. Cuomo urges New York to pass "Say Their Name" police reform bill next weekNew York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a new police reform bill called “Say Their Name” that he says he wants the New York state government to pass next week.
Cuomo explained in a news conference today that the reform agenda comes from the"long list of names of people we have seen who have been abused by police officers, by the justice system." Cuomo noted that George Floyd is the latest name"in a very long list." "Mr. Floyd's murder was the breaking point of a long list of deaths that were unnecessary and which were abusive. That is a fact. And people are saying enough is enough. That is a fact. What people are saying is we must change and we must stop the abuse. And that is a fact. And New York should be at the forefront of that. That has always been New York's legacy as the progressive capital. We are the ones who hold the standard of what is the right progressive reform," Cuomo said.
Cuomo emphasized that most police officers do the right thing, saying, “stopping police abuse vindicates the overwhelming majority, 99.9% of police, who are there to do the right thing and do do the right thing every day.”
