RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin appeared before a legislative task force at the state capitol Monday to recommend changes to a law that prevents law enforcement officers from being charged with a crime in uses of deadly force unless it can be proven that they acted with "malice" and without "good faith."
According to The Seattle Times, the task force voted to remove the references of "malice" and "good faith" from the law.
"The major part of it is that it sends a message to the community that law enforcement and the agencies that represent law enforcement, that they're serious about the gravity of their decisions and about the standards that they hold themselves to," Baldwin said.
