Momentum is building behind a new California bill that would allow police officers to use deadly force only when “necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily injury or death.” This groundbreaking law — the first of its kind in the entire country — would prevent police officers from killing people without justification, and it would clear the way for them to be held accountable if they cross the line. Local departments would revise their use of force policies and put greater emphasis on de-escalation in their training.
