Official Daily Action for Tuesday, February 13, 2024
The following action also comes from the WA Coalition for Police Accountability:
Hogtying is the practice of tying both the hands and limbs of a detainee together. It is an inhumane practice that has been condemned by the UNHCR as a violation of human rights and dignity, and no law enforcement agency should be allowed to use it.
ACTION: Sign in PRO to the Senate committee hearing to support SSB 6009, a state-wide ban on hogtying: https://app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifier/Add?chamber=House&mId=31913&aId=159020&caId=24044&tId=3
