@julianejonesjr shared that having heard from community leaders he will introduce a few amendments saying: "I think these amendments and a few others will strengthen the SMART act and make a good bill much better."

@NoureenBadwi of @bcyspeaks continued: "Leaving out...community is not how you make meaningful steps towards...police reform. You can not & will not solve the injustices of a 184 yr old policing system w/ only the people in power at the table, the police union & the politicians.

@NoureenBadwi of @bcyspeaks: "the FOP, State’s Attorney, County Council, & @BaltCoExec made their decision behind closed doors, without community input." Amendments being asked for are the community input that should have been incorporated from the beginning. #BlackVoicesMatter
