Democrats unveiled sweeping legislation on Monday to combat police violence and racial injustice, two weeks after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody led to widespread protests nationwide

WASHINGTON - Democrats, led by a group of black lawmakers, unveiled sweeping legislation on Monday to combat police violence and racial injustice, two weeks after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody led to widespread protests.

“A profession where you have the power to kill should be a profession that requires highly trained officers who are accountable to the public,” Representative Karen Bass, who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, told a news conference. “We have confused having safe communities with hiring more cops on the street ... when in fact the real way to achieve safe and healthy communities is to invest in these communities,” said Senator Kamala Harris, seen as a potential running-mate to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the Nov. 3 election.

This woman is not good

Democrates have not done anything to improve live for minorities in cities they had total control since 1968. What’s the excuse, what makes them the agent of change? Low quality housing, education and jobs spells Democrat Party, then blame it on systemic racism. Really?

And we know how well these programs have not worked

Let the state and local governments manage this issue. We don't need more one-size-fits-all legislation.

They should address gender, sex orientation, religion discrimination as well. Not Police but domestic violence also...

HouseJudiciary Just remember what the democrat’s leadership does very well is being reactive not proactive. It’s sad to see the only times the democrats like Schumer or Pelosi act is when they are pushed into events. We need proactive Democrats not these old goats that are reactive!

Was George Floyd a Ghanaian? I keep seeing folks with the Kente fabric.

Nice outfits.

Most of these folks have been in power for years if not DECADES. All this sudden concern and action is for show and pandering for votes. VoteOutIncumbents - both parties for real reform and change. Don’t fall for theatrics any more. BLM

Pelosi can GRANDSTAND with the best. She is a HYPOCRITE leader of the Democrats.

To Pelosi ‘s “God” and her father mother

They need to do something in democrats shithole cities

Muslim Hijab all over!

so the real question is, what else are they trying to sneak in with this bill besides police reform?

Why has it took them all this time to try and change things 6years Obama a black president did nothing and Joe Biden was right beside him and the 3years of Trump well they were telling the American people lies about Russia and Trump.

US should add black history to history books for young children to learn about real black history. People should learn about African Americans at a young age from their school. That way when the grow up they better understand each other’s issues
