In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis, U.S. Senator Gary Peters has introduced legislation to create the National Criminal Justice Commission. He says it would have a top to bottom review of the criminal justice system.
“It’s important for us to get our arms around this and do it in a comprehensive way,” Peters said. “We have to stop talking, we have to start doing something positive and we have to take action, and this is a way to bring people together to get it done.”
Peters told Michigan News Network this week there’s been some pushback from the Trump administration on the measure. However, he thinks they’ll come together to get it passed.
