Albuquerque, NM (KKOB0 — Ice cream makes for some unlikely bedfellows in Santa Fe lately. Police reform has brought together the founders of Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream and the conservative -backed nonprofit group ‘Americans for Prosperity’.
Both groups are lobbying for a bill to eliminate police immunity from lawsuits on civil rights violations.
Recent amendments to the bill would cap damages at $2 million dollars and allow lawsuits against agencies only. The state house has given it’s endorsement, and now the state senate has until March 29th to send a bill to the governor.
