Federal Bill Would Require Cops To Ask Suspects Not To Kill Them Before Shooting - Blue Lives Matter: St. Louis, MO – U.S. Representative William “Lacy” Clay (D-Missouri) announced new legislation on Friday that would change the use-of-force standard for federal law enforcement officers.
Clay’s proposed measure, known as the PEACE Act, would require police officers to use de-escalation techniques before resorting to deadly force, KMOV reported.
The measure would require states to enact similar use-of-force legislation in order to qualify for federal funding for their law enforcement.
