California AB 284 Passes Assembly Now Heads to State Senate
June 8, 2017
The legislation of Assembly Bill 284 was prompted by the high-profile police killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Eric Garner in New York City and the 2016 summer police shooting of Joseph Mann, a mentally ill homeless man, in Sacramento, according to McCarty’s office. In all three cases, local prosecutors declined to charge the officers.
