Jay Debates, who organized this weekend’s Back the Badge rally in Utica, says he’s not against police reform. He says the police reform bill on its way to Gov. Pritzker is full of problems though. Debates says police didn’t get to provide their input.
He says the camera requirements are expensive, and restricting the use of force will put police in danger.
The rally will be from noon to 2:30pm Sunday at Jamie’s Outpost in Utica. It’ll be followed by a parade of cars through Utica and several other communities.
