Biden signs executive order on police reform on second anniversary of George Floyd's death

President Biden signs an executive order on police reform on the second anniversary of George Floyd's murder, directing federal law enforcement agencies to revise use-of-force policies, ban chokeholds except when officers are in danger, restrict no-knock warrants, and create a national database of police misconduct. The order also encourages state and local governments to adopt similar reforms. The action comes after Congress failed to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act due to Republican opposition. The executive order represents the most notable federal police reform action in decades.
