JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A man whose son was shot and killed by a police officer in Wisconsin is supporting a Missouri measure to require external investigations into police-involved deaths.

Michael Bell told a House committee Tuesday that independent reviews would be welcomed by good officers and police departments.

Bell successfully pushed a similar measure in Wisconsin that passed last year. Bell says an internal investigation into his son’s death cleared the officer in two days.

Republican Rep. Shamed Dogan says the aftermath of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a Ferguson officer exposed mistrust in law enforcement. He says the legislation is a way to restore that trust.

The committee did not take action on the bill.

Dogan says he thinks it has a better chance than some Ferguson-related bills.
