Wednesday Texas State Representative Carl O. Sherman (D-109) stood alongside President Joe Biden, the Botham Jean and George Floyd families, in addition to other American families, as he signed an Executive Order designed to address police accountability; specifically Use of Force and Body Cameras.
House Bill 929, known as Bo’s Law, passed successfully in the Texas 87th Legislative Session, speaks to law enforcement policies and procedures regarding body worn cameras and establishing the integrity of police evidence.
Rep. Carl Sherman, author of the bill said, “This law affectionately known forever as Bo’s Law will help to remove bad officers from Texas streets. Bo’s Law is good for good officers and good for good citizens regardless of color.”
Further elaborating, he said, “Bo’s Law is about creating systemic accountability and trust between police and the community,” Sherman said, adding, “President Biden’s Executive Order today, I trust will project the same message.”
