State lawmaker wants to rework foot-chase policy and end a legal defense police use: ‘No way we could continue to go on like this'
2021-04-18
[ChicagoSunTimes] After the release of a video showing a police officer fatally shooting 13-year-old Adam Toledo, a state lawmaker says it’s time to end a legal defense commonly used by police officers and revamp the policy surrounding chasing suspects.

“I just think it’s really sad to see it,” state Rep. La Shawn Ford said. “We need to look at the city, and how certain communities are still neglected, and how Black and Brown people are still neglected.

The West Side Democrat is a sponsor of a bill that creates the “Bad Apples in Law Enforcement Accountability Act of 2021.” He said dealing with the legal protection known as qualified immunity “is a must.”
