Justin Amash wants bill to allow victims to sue police officers [View all]
Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan plans to unveil legislation this week that would allow citizens to file civil lawsuits against police officers for illegal and unconstitutional acts.
Amash hopes the bill would mitigate police brutality after George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man, died on May 25 after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes.
