AUSTIN, Texas - Those that came together Saturday at the Texas Capitol, including slab riders that drove in from Houston, weren’t just gathering to honor George Floyd and others who have died at the hands of police.
They were fighting for something specific that they believe could bring the change they desire: the George Floyd Act."If it’s in the law you have to be prosecuted," said Angela Johnson who spoke at the event and previously served in law enforcement herself. "We want you to not get a tap on the wrist, not go to another agency, we want you to be prosecuted."Currently, a federal police reform bill, also named for George Floyd, is already being considered by Congress.
