Rep. Lori Trahan Joins Call For Police Accountability
Trahan co-sponsored Rep. Ayanna Pressley's resolution to condemn police brutality after the death of George Floyd in Minnesota. By Christopher Huffaker, Patch Staff ANDOVER, MA — Congresswoman Lori Trahan joined four representatives Friday in sponsoring a resolution to condemn police brutality after the death of George Floyd in Minnesota sparked outrage across the country. A video shows now-former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck and ignoring him as he says he can't breathe. Chauvin was arrested Friday and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a Massachusetts Democrat, introduced the resolution Friday with Reps. Ilhan Omar, Karen Bass and Barbara Lee. Clark was one of the original co-sponsors of the resolution, alongside fellow Massachusets Democrats Jim McGovern, Joe Kennedy III and Katherine Clark, among others.
