Some excellent changes.
The Juvenile Justice Reform is a good one. If you listened to Serial, someone like Adnan Syed who's served 22 years in prison since he was 17 has a pathway to not die in prison. From the article:
Also on Saturday, the General Assembly overturned an earlier Hogan veto of a bill that would abolish life sentences without parole for juveniles. The legislation allows prisoners who were juveniles when they were convicted to appeal to a judge for release after they have served 20 years.
Minneapolis rioting over police killing of Daunte Wright.
Protests after Minneapolis police shoot 20-year-old Daunte Wright
He apparently had a warrant. They tried to cuff him after pulling him over and he jumped back in the car driving away and they shot him. It's too early to say either way except another life lost needlessly.

They should all face negligent homicide charges

I watched the footage. This may not be the thread for a nuanced post, but teaching martial arts and stuff like this is a part of my job. This is all super depressing to see. This was a horrible lack of training on the part of the officers involved. Especially the female officer that shot Daunte Wright. These cops get no real training. It's awful. I really hate how the Police Chief is using the term "accidental discharge" here. The only accidental discharge is if your gun is in a fire or something, and the heat makes a round cook off. If a gun is in someone's hand, and the gun goes off when they don't want it to, then it's a "negligent discharge." Even if the officer didn't mean to pull the trigger, she did, due to negligence, and she needs to pat for that. I don't like seeing the police chief try to subtly put the words "accidental discharge" in people's minds.
I don't really know how you can mix up a taser with a gun. Usually the gun is always on the same side hip as your dominant hand. So this woman has no excuse for fukking that up. Plus, a gun feels so much heavier. I guess adrenaline does crazy shyt, but she should've taken the time to calm down. These cops get so fukking scared because they don't have any training, or unarmed hand-to-hand skills, and they immediately reach for the gun because they're overly scared.
I wish Daunte Wright hadn't resisted and jumped back in the car. It sucks, because there are cases of people not resisting arrest (like George Floyd RIP) that still get killed if they don't resist arrest. And it shouldn't have to be this way, but I think it really needs to be stressed on a national level (maybe even in schools as sad as that sounds) to let Americans know that our cops have no training, and if you resist arrest, there's a scary high probability that you'll get killed.
So yeah. That's my analysis. This is definitely a tragedy. I'm just really, really sad. They better convict Chauvin. Especially after this. All my people in Minnesota (and everywhere else) be safe out there.
