"every law enforcement officer should have mandatory training to provide medical assistance, and any officer who is negligent or refuses medical care to an individual in their custody will be held criminally liable their cruel inaction. an arrest is not a death sentence - nobody should be denied life-saving medical care while in police custody, and this bill is a step towards accountability." "there can be no justice for andrew kearse or the many others who have died after being denied medical care while in custody. justice would mean they'd still be alive today. there must, however, be accountability," said congresswoman pressley.
