The brutal killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis by police has U.S. lawmakers mapping out the quickest way to reform police use of force. Representatives and Senators want to create legislation that will help stop police brutality.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Ralph Nadler (D-N.Y.) announced Thursday that his committee would hold a hearing June 10 where they will delve into the issues of racial profiling and police brutality. The members will hear from witnesses about what is happening with current police practices and how trust can be reestablished.
