On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the "George Floyd Justice and Policing Act." It aims to create higher accountability in policing and create standards and oversight to protect from discrimination and brutality. As written, it will not pass in the Senate. 12th District Congresswoman Debbie Dingell joined WEMU's David Fair to discuss that legislation and the prospects of another coronavirus relief package.
