Progressive DC Mayor Muriel Bowser proposed new legislation that would roll back much of the progressive police reforms passed by the city council following the death of George Floyd in March 2020.

“We need to act now, and we need to send the strong message that violence is not acceptable in our city — and this perception that people have that you can commit a brazen crime and get away with it has got to stop,” the mayor It would also allow police officers to view body-worn camera footage before they write up their police report — which officers say can shield them from making any inconsistencies that could be used against them in court.Bowser’s proposal — dubbed the Addressing Crime Trends Now, or ACT Now, bill — would specifically clarify or amend parts of the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Amendment Act, a progressive reform passed by city officials in December.

The ACT Now bill would also restore the War on Drugs-era police chief’s authority to declare an area a drug-free zone. “Residents have very real complaints about drug transactions they are witnessing in public spaces,” she said at the news conference.
