“You can’t honor the life and legacy of George Floyd without passing comprehensive policy and legislative change to prevent George Floyds from happening,” Clark told. “I don’t think the Biden administration has been aggressive enough when it comes to this crisis — and this is not just a Black fight — this is for everybody. People have become desensitised by police murder.
Experts say while criminal justice reform efforts in part fueled the 2020 election cycle, policing is unlikely to be a top issue in the 2024 presidential election. After Congress failed to pass the George Floyd legislation, Biden signed an executive order in May 2022 that in part created a new national police misconduct database, required federal law enforcement agencies to investigate the use of deadly force or deaths in custody and restricted federal agencies from using chokeholds and “no-knock” entries.
Nina Patel, Senior Policy Council at the American Civil Liberties Union, said “there have been accomplishments on policing accountability, but they have been far less influential than what we would have liked.”
