FILE - In this April 23, 2019 file photo, State Sen. Steven Bradford, D-Compton, speaks during a hearing at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif. George Floyd's killing last year and the protests that followed led to a wave of police reforms in dozens of states, from changes in use-of-force policies to greater accountability for officers. At the same time, lawmakers in a handful of states have had success addressing racial inequities. Ahead of the verdict Tuesday, April 20, 2021 members of California’s Legislative Black Caucus gathered outside the Capitol to highlight police and criminal justice reform bills they hope to advance. Bradford, a Democrat who chairs the caucus says “The time is now for us to act." (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)
