#Roommates, today the Illinois House passed legislation requiring more thorough background checks before police officers are hired, per cbsnews. This change comes less than a year after a Sangamon County Sheriff’s deputy shot and killed #SonyaMassey. ___________________________________
If you recall, unarmed Massey was shot and killed last July as she was checking on a pot of boiling water in her kitchen while saying, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Prosecutors said Grayson asked her to move the pot off the stove and that she never posed a danger that justified the use of lethal force. ___________________________________
By a 101-12 vote, the Illinois House approved Senate Bill 1953, sponsored by state Rep. Kam Buckner, which would require more comprehensive background checks before hiring police or other law enforcement officers in Illinois. ___________________________________
Police departments would not be able to make final offers of employment for probationary or law enforcement officers unless they review all past employment records. This includes background investigation materials, duty-related physical and psychological fitness-for-duty examinations, work performance records, arrests, convictions, and any records of criminal, civil, or administrative investigations of conduct. SWIPE to read a statement from Massey’s father James Wilburn about the bill. #TSRStaffAS
