Top musicians sign open letter calling for police reform in New York

Some of the biggest names in the music industry are joining the call for reform of policing in New York.

Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Meek Mill, the Jonas Brothers and many more signed an open letter on Monday, asking New York legislators to repeal section 50-A of New York State's Civil Rights Law.

The statute currently keeps police personnel files confidential and basically out of the public's reach.

The open letter reads in part that they mourn the killing of George Floyd and the unnecessary loss of so many black lives before his.

They say they must hold accountable those who violate the oath to protect and serve, and find justice for those who are victim to their violence.
