At the onset, it might sound like another malicious shooting by police. Media reports say police shot Alvarez in the back. Critics claimed Alvarez posed no threat to officers.

President Joe Biden spoke to Congress on Wednesday, speaking out for more gun control<\/a>, among other topics. The president also called on Congress to pass policing reform. Biden pleaded for reform by the anniversary of George Floyd's death<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police.
