New Jersey Bill Seeks to Rethink Police Deadly Force

New Jersey Lawmakers Pass Bill to Rethink Police Deadly Force in Mental Health Crises The New Jersey legislature has passed a bill aimed at revising the use of deadly force by police, particularly in mental health crises. The measure, now awaiting Governor Phil Murphys signature, mandates biannual reviews of the deadly force policy by the state attorney general, emphasizing de-escalation and treating deadly force as a last resort. The bill encourages respect for human life, negotiation, and mental health expert involvement before force. It also requires online reporting of use-of-force cases and considers factors like language in barricade situations. This comes after a series of tragic police shootings during mental health calls, including the recent deaths of Deborah Terrell, Victoria G. Lee, Andrew Washington, and Najee Seabrooks. Despite a 2019 law mandating investigations, grand juries have indicted officers in only three of over one hundred deadly incidents. Assemblywoman Ellen Park, a key sponsor, emphasizes the need for clear rules protecting everyone, including police. Groups like AAPI New Jersey see it as progress but urge more on civilian review boards and officer immunity. Experts note it doesnt fully address communities most affected by police violence but is a start amid low accountability. Checkout Solipillow.com
