HAPPENING NOW: Senate Majority Leader @paulgazelka starts out his press conference to discuss Senate plans to hold hearings police accountability measures, but calls #DaunteWright Duane. #mnleg
"I want to remind people because they want us to do something," Gazelka says, adding that he wants to start by what was passed last summer: Chokehold ban; ban on warrior-style police training; duty to intercede; arbitration reform; mental health/autism/cultural diversity training
"We passed a significant bill that some people said was not far enough, but other people said it was too far," Gazelka says, naming police who think it went too far.
"I& #39;m still willing to have hearings in the Senate," he said. "We& #39;re committed to having hearings."
KEY TAKEAWAY: "I& #39;m not promising that we& #39;re going to do more reform. I& #39;m promising to listen if something is warranted," Gazelka says.
Gazelka says the hearings are meant for "fact-finding."
Gazelka apologizes for calling Daunte Duane.
Gazelka says Wright& #39;s death appears to be a "tragic accident."
Gazelka: "We as individuals, when we get pulled over for whatever reason, I think being respectful goes a long way.
