On the heels of police officers shooting a young, unarmed black man to death in Sacramento, California, last month, state lawmakers announced a first-of-its-kind bill on Monday that raises the standard for when officers may open fire.
The proposed legislation would change the guidance in California's use of force laws so that police may open fire "'only when necessary' rather than 'when reasonable,'" Sacramento-based Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, said at a press conference Tuesday.
"We should no longer be the target practice of a 'shoot first, ask questions later' police force," Assemblyman Christopher Holden said, before listing the names of several other unarmed black victims of police shootings.
Why would you want police firing their guns if it isn't necessary?
The problem is that in most real-life situations in the field, it's impossible to know for certain if the use of lethal force is "Necessary" per se, because it's the suspect's refusal to follow police commands that prevents them from knowing if the suspect has a weapon.
