eta: it's AB 931, if you want to mention the bill.

ETA #2: I corrected the typos. Kevin McCarty - NOT Kevin McCarthy. no H.Democratic assemblyman representing sacramento, not republican congressman from bakersfield.

'Police departments with more restrictive use-of-force policies kill fewer people per capita.' Let's expand that to our whole state.

The police unions are speaking up on this. I called so they hear more than just the "blue lives matter" crowd.

Thanks for the reminder! I saw this the other night on facebook and had meant to call. I just called Tony Thurmond's office now. The person I spoke with said she didn't even know the bill had a number yet, but it was on their radar screen and hoped to have a position on it shortly.

I couldn't find a bill number online, so I called Shirley Weber's office (and also thanked her for bringing the bill)
