Praises police and condemns "defund" calls — urges states to adopt misconduct-probe rights for officers; no legal change
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution is a statement of the House's views. It would not change any law, even if the House agreed to it. It praises police officers and agencies for their work. It also condemns calls to "defund," "disband," "dismantle," or "abolish" the police. The resolution lists ten rights it says officers should have when they are investigated for misconduct. These include having a lawyer and a union representative at interviews. Officers should learn the charges and who complained before questioning. They should not be punished for staying silent under the Fifth Amendment unless given immunity. The resolution urges states to adopt these rights. It does not require them. It also calls for more talk between police and the communities they serve.
