A bill that would tighten rules around police use of force moved a step forward after California legislators voted it through a key committee. It is a response to numerous police shootings statewide, including the Stephon Clark case.
Josiah Guzman-Lopez, 9, spoke Monday at a hearing for police use-of-force bill Assembly Bill 392. Guzman-Lopez's father, Antonio, was shot by San Jose State University police in 2014. a proposal for new state rulesHis father was shot in the back by a San Jose State University police officer five years ago.
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Julie Robertson described the unexpected shootout that killed her partner in 2018 after an armed felon, Anton Lemon Paris, opened fire as they entered an auto parts store in a Sacramento suburb while responding to a routine call. Paris allegedly shot Robertson’s partner, Mark Stasyuk, in the back of the head within moments of their arrival, then circled back to ambush Robertson.
“This bill makes me wonder if sacrificing everything is worth it,” Robertson continued. “By the sounds of it, the only options given to me if handed a similar set of circumstances are to die, be criminally charged or live with the blood of innocent people on my hands.”“Feelings of helplessness, loneliness and despair constantly flood my thoughts,” she said.
“There is one part of this bill I can never support. It’s not negotiable,” said Assemblyman Tom Lackey , a veteran of law enforcement. “And that is the term ‘reasonable.’ I want you to know that all public servants who swear a willingness to die in preserving peace are threatened by this very … term.”
