乔治·弗洛伊德去世后，经过两周的抗议，美国几个城市正寻求改革警察部门和预算。
尽管国会计划推出改革，其中包括禁酒令、限制军官的合格豁免权以及限制军事武器，但地方政府已经开始采取行动。
尽管这些改革中的许多将在地方官员中进行长时间的辩论，一些活动人士说这是一个好的开始。
以下是迄今为止承诺改革的一些城市:
明尼阿波利斯
明尼阿波利斯市议会周日宣布，鉴于弗洛伊德的死亡和警方行为的长期问题，将解散其警察部队。
在一份声明中，九名市议会成员表示，他们将立即采取措施，通过“预算程序和其他政策决定”解散明尼阿波利斯警察局
“在接下来的一年里，我们致力于与明尼阿波利斯市每一个有意愿的社区成员接触，以确定每个人的安全状况，”成员们在一份声明中说。
在这张2020年5月31日的档案照片中，一名警察用手持大炮指向在明尼阿波利斯的南华盛顿街等待逮捕的抗议者。
尽管解散警察的计划是不可否决的，明尼阿波利斯市长雅各布·弗雷告诉“早安美国”星期一，他不支持解散警察。周日遭到抗议者嘘声的弗雷说，他的目标是通过内部改革解决警察滥用职权的问题。
“所以让我非常明确地说，我们追求的是警察工会、警察工会合同、仲裁条款，这些条款要求我们在仲裁过程结束时进行仲裁，而且通常会让警察回到他们开始的地方，”他说。
上周，市议会一致投票几项警察改革，包括禁止chokeholds和限制对人群使用催泪瓦斯等武器。
自抗议活动开始以来，当地团体之一的黑人愿景组织的负责人坎迪斯·蒙哥马利(Kandace Montgomery)就一直在与市议会进行讨论，他说，这座城市早就应该这么做了。
她在一份声明中说:“乔治·弗洛伊德不应该被谋杀，让这么多人醒来。”。
纽约市
周日，比尔·白思豪市长宣布了一系列改革措施，将资金从NYPD转移到城市预算的其他部门。
德·布拉西奥说，他将与市议会合作，在未来三周内敲定细节，但他周一对记者表示，金额将“相当可观”
“我们将通过谈判来解决，”他说。
2020年6月4日，纽约，在违反全市宵禁数小时后，谴责执法中系统性种族主义的示威者与一排NYPD官员对峙。
据市长说，作为预算提案的一部分，这笔钱将从NYPD拿出来，用于“有色人种社区的青年发展和社会服务”。该市还将把街头集市的执法工作转移到NYPD的管辖范围之外，并推动州立法机构取消该市市长称限制警察透明度的50-A法律中的条款。
NYPD专员德莫特·谢伊告诉几家纽约新闻站，他仍然需要更多关于该计划的细节，尤其是美元数额，但他同意“明智的削减”
“我完全支持把钱转移到青年项目上，”他周一早上告诉纽约1台。"每个城市机构都需要勒紧裤带。"
西雅图
西雅图市长珍妮·德坎周日宣布了该市警察队伍的短期和长期变动，以解决居民对警察的担忧。
她说，她将审查西雅图警察局的预算，“特别注重在整个过程中倾听社区的声音。”
2020年6月6日，在西雅图，示威者与执法人员对峙。
“德坎市长同意许多[激进组织的要求，并正在努力迅速实施改革，包括建立和...她所在的办公室在一份声明中称:“为西雅图黑人委员会提供资源，并投资1亿美元用于针对黑人青少年和成年人的社区驱动项目。”。
除了预算提案之外，杜尔坎还呼吁在州一级设立一个独立的检察官来调查和起诉任何警官，并更新该部处理大规模抗议的程序。
萨克拉门托
戴维斯警察局周六宣布，将禁止其警员使用巧克力棒。
警长达伦·皮特尔说，弗洛伊德的死引发了对当前警察策略的质疑，更多的改革即将到来。
2020年5月31日，斯特万特·克拉克敦促示威者在萨克拉门托安全非暴力地抗议。
皮特尔在一份声明中说:“警察的变化影响了当今社会对变革的强烈想法和公众需求。”。
戴维斯警察局还公布了其他政策变化，包括要求一名警官在看到同事过度使用武力时进行调解。
新泽西
新泽西州司法部长古尔比尔·格雷瓦尔6月5日宣布，该州将禁止警察部门使用扼腕、颈动脉颈部约束或类似策略。Grewal说他们的使用已经导致了几起嫌疑犯窒息的事件。
“因为这些战术造成了死亡或严重身体伤害的巨大风险，在执行这些战术时造成受试者死亡或受伤的官员面临潜在的刑事责任，”格雷瓦尔的命令说。
该命令规定了一项豁免，“在非常有限的情况下，当致命的武力是必要的，以解决迫在眉睫的生命威胁。”
Cities across US announce police reform following mass protests against brutality
After two weeks of protests following the death of George Floyd, several U.S. cities are looking to reform their police departments and budgets.
While Congress is slated to introduce reforms that include a chokehold ban, a limit on qualified immunity for officers and a restriction on military weapons, local governments have begun to take action.
Although many of these reforms will be subjected to a long debate among local officials, some activists say it is a good start.
Here are some of the cities that have promised reform so far:
Minneapolis
The Minneapolis City Council announced Sunday that it would disband its police force in light of Floyd's death and long-standing issues with police conduct.
In a statement, nine city council members said they will be taking immediate steps to disband the Minneapolis Police Department through "the budget process and other policy decisions."
"We're committed to engaging with every willing community member in the City of Minneapolis over the next year to identify what safety looks like for everyone," the members said in a statement.
In this May 31, 2020, file photo, a police officer points a hand cannon at protesters who have been detained pending arrest on South Washington Street, in Minneapolis.
Although plans for defunding the police are veto-proof, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Freytold "Good Morning America"Monday he is not in support of disbanding the police. Frey, who was booed by protesters Sunday, said he is aiming to address police abuses through internal changes.
"And so let me be very clear, we're going after the police union, the police union contract, the arbitration provisions that mandate that we have arbitration at the end of the process and oftentimes that reverts the officer right back to where they were to begin with," he said.
Last week, the city councilunanimously votedon several police reforms including the banning of chokeholds and restrictions on the use of weapons such as tear gas on crowds.
Kandace Montgomery, director of Black Visions, one of the local groups that have been in discussions with the council since the protests began, said the city should have done this long ago.
"George Floyd should not have been murdered for so many people to wake up," she said in a statement.
New York City
On Sunday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a sweeping set of reforms that would shift funding from the NYPD to other sectors of the city's budget.
De Blasio said he will work with the city council to hammer out the details over the next three weeks, but told reporters Monday that the amount would be "something substantial."
"We will do that as a negotiation," he said.
Demonstrators denouncing systemic racism in law enforcement face off with a line of NYPD officers hours after violating a citywide curfew on June 4, 2020, in New York.
As part of the budget proposal, the money will be taken from the NYPD and given to "youth development and social services for communities of color," according to the mayor. The city will also shift enforcement of its street fairs out of the NYPD's jurisdiction and push for the state legislature to remove provisions in its 50-A law that the mayor says limits police transparency.
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea told several New York news stations he still needed more details about the plan, especially the dollar amount, but he was on board for "smart cuts."
"I fully support moving money to youth programs," he told NY1 Monday morning. "Every city agency needs to tighten its belt."
Seattle
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced Sunday short- and long-term changes to the city's police force to address the concerns about police from residents.
She said she will review the Seattle Police Department's budget with a “special focus on listening community voices throughout the process."
Demonstrators face off with law enforcement personnel on June 6, 2020, in Seattle.
"Mayor Durkan concurred with many [activist groups'] requests and is working to quickly implement changes, including establishing and...resourcing of a Seattle Black Commission and investing $100 million in community-driven programs for black youths and adults," her office said in a statement.
In addition to the budget proposal, Durkan has called for an independent prosecutor at the state level to investigate and prosecute any police officers as well as updating the department's procedures for mass protests.
Sacramento
The Davis Police Department announced Saturday that it will prohibit its officers from using chokeholds.
Chief Darren Pytel said Floyd's death prompted questioning over current police tactics and more reforms were coming.
Stevante Clark urges demonstrators to protest safely and non-violently on May 31, 2020 in Sacramento.
"The police change affects the strong thoughts and public demand for change in contemporary policing today," Pytel said in a statement.
The Davis PD also put out other policy changes including one that requires an officer to intercede if they see a fellow officer use excessive force.
New Jersey
New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal announced on June 5 that the state will ban police departments from using chokeholds, carotid artery neck restraints or similar tactics. Grewal said their use has led to several incidents where a suspect suffered asphyxiation.
"Because these tactics create a substantial risk of death or serious bodily harm, officers who cause a subject’s death or injury while performing them face potential criminal liability," Grewal's order said.
The order provides an exemption "in the very limited situations when deadly force is necessary to address an imminent threat to life."
