#Biden said #SonyaMassey’s death should spur #Congress to pass the #GeorgeFloyd #Justice in Policing Act (#HR1280), which was introduced in March 2021, 10 months after its namesake, a 46-year-old Black man, was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer. Negotiations to pass the legislation broke down soon after, & lawmakers never mustered enough support to get it to the president’s desk.
