WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats in Congress are proposing an overhaul of police procedures and accountability after the mass protests over the deaths of black Americans at the hand of law enforcement.

NewPortland Police Chief Chuck Lovell listens during a news conference announcing his appointment Monday, June 8, 2020 in Portland, Ore. Portland's police chief has resigned, just six months into her job, amid criticism of her department's handling of protests in Oregon's largest city. The shakeup comes as police have been sharply criticized for using what some people called inappropriate force against some protesters. Lovell said at a press conference that his appointment was completely unexpected and he's going to care about the community. (Beth Nakamura/The Oregonian via AP)
