Michigan's Legislative Black Caucus said that it wants to see lawmakers pass police reform bills following the death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who died days after Memphis police severely beat him.
What they're saying:
"That could've been me, that could've been my younger brother, that could've been my 1-year-old son," said 30-year-old Rep. Donavan McKinney . McKinney said he fears for his safety while driving up to Lansing from Detroit. "This badge on my hip doesn't matter, the title you hold, the education you received … We're telling our Black boys and girls 'Don't wear your hoodie, be presentable' … But that's not enough …"Lawmakers need to reintroduce the package to send bills through the Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Stephanie Chang .
Chang tells Axios that lawmakers "are going to take a look at the bills and see what revisions need to be made and get together with the various state and national groups we've been working with." Chang says they plan to circle around with law enforcement groups and prosecutors as they did last term.
