H.Res. 451 — Expressing condemnation for police brutality wherever in the world it occurs.

This section condemns police brutality wherever it occurs, stands with peaceful protesters around the world in their calls for justice and accountability, and recognizes that such brutality disproportionately targets racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, women, migrants, and the LGBTQIA+ community while impunity for it undermines the rule of law, erodes public confidence in state institutions, and degrades social cohesion. It calls on the United States Government to take immediate steps to eliminate police brutality and impunity in the United States; prohibit sales of arms, ammunition, and less-lethal policing equipment as well as other security assistance, including police training, to countries with demonstrated patterns of human rights violations by security forces; end the use of militarized equipment and tactics in policing at home and abroad; use its voice, vote, and influence in international institutions to eliminate police brutality worldwide; and reallocate funding to peacebuilding, job training, counseling and mental health programming, and violence-prevention programming. It also calls on United States-based businesses that sell lethal and less-lethal policing equipment to adopt strict protocols prohibiting such sales to countries with demonstrated patterns of police brutality or impunity.
