Cuomo’s update comes after he signed police reform legislation into law on Friday after the state legislature passed a bundle of bills this week. Among the bills are a repeal of law 50-A, a statewide ban on chokeholds, automatic appointment of a special prosecutor to cases of police killing unarmed civilians, and a law making fake race-based 911 calls a crime.
Meanwhile, President Trump is set to give the commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York on Saturday.
