Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) said Friday they will introduce a bill making it a crime for police not to provide medical care to people in their custody.

According to a draft of the bill (pdf), the legislation seeks “to require Federal law enforcement and prison officials to obtain or provide immediate medical attention to individuals in custody who display medical distress.”
