LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — On Wednesday, Pulaski County Sheriff Eric Higgins signed a Duty to Intervene policy, requiring deputies to put a stop to a fellow deputy using excessive force.
The enactment of the policy took place on the Capitol steps with a crowd of protesters as witnesses.
This is in tandem with the protesting of police brutality on a national level after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis by a former police officer that kept Floyd restrained with his knee in his neck until he died.
