Assembly members Shirley Weber (Democrat -San Diego and Kevin McCarty (Democrat-Sacramento) have introduced AB931, a bill that would
severely limit a peace officers ability to protect themselves and citizens from harm. They would no longer have the authority to use
necessary force to apprehend a combative or fleeing suspect. Peace officers would only be allowed to use force if the officer believed
the suspect had committed or intends to commit a felony involving death. This bill would require an officer to become an expert
mind reader with split second accuracy.
Tying the hands of law enforcement so they are unable to effectively do their job is
not a solution to anything. All this bill will do is add another layer of protection for criminals and their activity,
with total disregard for the victims of crime.
Stancoinsider is strongly opposed to AB931.
