Wisconsin’s governor says he will sign a new slate of police reforms, including a ban on chokeholds, but he also wants more.
The state Assembly yesterday approved a series of reforms that came from a state task force. Along with the ban on chokeholds, lawmakers okayed new rules for use of force, a study on the use of no-knock warrants, and requirements for mental health exams before police officers are hired and mandatory drug tests after officer-involved shootings. Governor Evers yesterday said lawmakers now need to work on more ‘comprehensive’ reforms.
