Legislation that makes it “easier” to prosecute police over misusing deadly force by removing the need to prove malice. Summary of changes from the Seattle Met:
1) It makes the “good faith” standard objective rather than subjective – another officer in a similar situation also needs to have believed use of deadly force was necessary
2) It still requires police to undergo de-escalation training every year but doesn’t list it as a condition of maintaining certification
3) It changes the requirement to render first aid to the “earliest safe opportunity,” to cover cases in which it’s not safe for the cop to apply first aid immediately
4) It requires that the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission also seek input from police unions and minority law enforcement associations on adopting the rules
