‘Justice for Jackie’ gets police use of deadly force bill onto Washington ballot

 . . .

Washington State Initiative 940, the Police De-Escalation Bill, will require law enforcement to receive training in de-escalation, in mental illness, and in providing first aid at the scene of police incidents. It also requires independent investigations of police shootings, mandates the inclusion of tribal governments when tribal citizens are shot, and, perhaps most importantly, makes it easier to prosecute police officers who misuse deadly force.
