DAILY MESSENGER: Governor Andrew Cuomo seeks package of police reforms

Andrew Cuomo is pushing state lawmakers to ban the use of chokeholds by police and approve other legislation seeking to address concerns raised by protests against the death of George Floyd.

#AndrewCuomo announced the effort during a press briefing Friday after criticizing the actions of police caught on video shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground during protests in the city of Buffalo on Thursday night.

• Making police disciplinary records transparent through changes to the state law known as 50-a.

• Making false race-based 911 emergency calls a hate crime

• Requiring the state Attorney General to act as independent prosecutor for any police officer-involved death, which would codify a 2015 executive order into state law….
