"And after all this time, all we’ve gotten out of it are these wanton endangerment charges against an officer who should’ve never been on that police force, let alone assigned to execute a warrant under these high-tension situations."

"There’s a provision that would bar no-knock warrants in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act that was passed in the House and that sits in the Senate yet untended to. This has to be addressed."
