Mass. House, Senate Reach Police Reform Compromise

On Beacon Hill, lawmakers are expected Tuesday to accept a compromise police reform bill.

The legislation came about this summer following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis. Floyd's death prompted massive demonstrations nationwide, and calls for overhauling the way police work is done.

WBUR’s Senior State House Reporter Steve Brown joined Morning Edition host Bob Oakes to talk about the compromise.
