What, if any, specific policing reforms would you like to see enacted? Well, first and foremost, I'm disappointed to see that the speaker is kicking the can down the road and doing another task force. If we would have gotten to work as a legislature after the murder of George Floyd, we could have had hearings all summer long and had some bills passed. and in place that possibly would have prevented what happened in Kenosha from happening. But instead, we didn't do the tough work. There's a lot of things that we could pass and reform. (10:06–10:15)
