Calls for police reform have grown louder since George Floyd's death, with further pushes from the White House and civil rights groups.
And while the officers involved in Floyd's death have been found guilty and are behind bars, some say, three years later, the structural problems that lead to Floyd's death have not been addressed.
Along with many other reforms, Cheema is calling for better data to accurately measure police behavior. Cities and counties in Texas, Colorado, Washington, New York and Georgia have launched programs to pair social workers with police. The consent decree is a court order mandating a group of reforms that is agreed to by the Department of Justice and local law enforcement.While effective, they have also been known to be expensive and lengthy.
But the bill has stalled in Congress on multiple occasions — often because of qualified immunity, which shields officers from being individually sued for their on-duty actions.
