Democrats unveil sweeping bill to combat police violence and racial injustice, including allowing victims of misconduct and their families to seek financial damages against police by limiting qualified immunity

WASHINGTON - U.S. congressional Democrats unveiled sweeping legislation on Monday to combat police violence and racial injustice through transformative change, two weeks after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody led to nationwide protests.

The legislation would not cut or abolish funding for police departments. Senior Democrats said calls for “defunding” the police from protesters and other activists, express a desire for more investment in communities. They promised that such issues would be addressed in subsequent legislation. “LAW & ORDER, NOT DEFUND AND ABOLISH THE POLICE. The Radical Left Democrats have gone Crazy!” Trump tweeted on Monday.

Trumpscum Barbie.....

How about USA cops no longer being trained by Mossad Israeli against in Country or out of Country. GeorgeFloyd Protests2020 DefundPolice

This woman is a very good actor!

I think the DefundThePolice movement is the right kick in the ass to those supposed 2ndAmendment supporters that have gotten soft in recent years. Maybe this will motivate them! BuyGuns BuyMoreGuns GunOwnership

We are appalled he put gates around the WH. We are appalled he was hiding in a bunker. We are appalled he has not showed his taxes. We are appalled that he calls people names. We are appalled..I must stop b/c this can go on 4ever.

I prefer to watch members of his administration give briefings with the sound off.

He’s appalled? 😂😂

Have press secretaries always been this, uh, brainwashed? And I just never noticed, because all past presidents have been sane?

instead of trump leading he has worked with governors and media to smear the protest. Action? he has action YEAH RIGHT. VIOLENTLY ATTACKING THE PROTEST IS HIS ACTIONS! GeorgeFloydProtests GeorgeFloydprotest blacklivesmatter

Someone gets this, thank goodness.

Many, many millions of us are appalled! Addressing police training techniques and race sensitivity are needed. Not demolishing law enforcement

red dress in white house …. Fantastic

Make no mistake, realDonaldTrump is not racist. He hates with equality. I'm a never trumper and he called me 'human scum'. He hates anyone who won't kiss his ring

'They don't have any issues with people, armed people, protesting on the State Capital about getting their hair cut or eating at Waffle House, but, they seem like they have a problem with communities of color protesting about them killing black men.'- Ma.WA.

What does this mean?

PressSec is a corrupt liar! She will go down in history as an enabler of all that is evil.

You should not defund the police. It will lead to worse education and will only prevent change!

'Blah blah blah, I'm pretending to be enraged about a desperate talking point. Haha, I get paid to lie to people for a living, wow!'

Black people make up for 14% of the US population and commit over 50% of the homicides in this country. Police reforms is not the only thing we need.

Unfortunately, Mr. Trump did not have the skills to manage a major noncommercial crisis, such as 1) the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2) the George Floyd protests and the Black Lives Matter. A leader cannot use a single leadership style that fits all crises.

The only thing he's looking at is a number of cable news networks and his Twitter app.

TrumpHasNoPlan 'Looking at' what his dumb face in the mirror? VoteTrumpOut

Looks to me clearly that these things played well to Trump's favor in Nov elections. The Democrats have just given Trump his second term on a silver plate. No well meaning American will ever think of de-funding the police who put their lives on the line everyday for their safety.

I'm old enough to remember when WH press secretaries were Jewish. What's going on?

How could Trump be'appalled'by the call for'defunding the police force'when he lost faith in the police&deployed National Guards&Military Police all over the US,unconstitutionally at that?It's harder&harder to understand what Trump is really up to these days.Period!

I seldom agree with Trump but defunding the police is not the answer. A lot people probably don’t agree

Better have someone paint over that defund the police in the road by the white house

She’s really good at spinning.

She's a step up on that pilgrim lady she replaced.

He should be appalled at himself for doing this to Americans..

Does this mean the gun debate is over? 2ndAmendment

All police officers are not bad, we go out to make sure families are safe from the WOLF. We protect you, we serve our communities.

Kayleigh is the epitome of a lot as loyal trump employee, Clueless and supporting obvious lies. “ I’ll never lie to you” BS!

Where’s the pull string that makes her talk anyway?

Haha!!! Support racist people with guns and badges. What is appalling is that a president can not seem to utter the words “Black Lives do Matter as much as all the others”.

yeah, okay...... LOL.. current situation. Its tough when the CONSITUTION comes back to bite you in the A**.. let alone the Bible!

This woman has the IQ of a dandelion and the self-awareness of a brick. Makes you long for the halcyon days of SeanSpicer.

You’re out of your element, Donny.

I'll give her 3 months..

APPALLING.......

She is so so good

Has the Donald started Derrick Chauvins leagle defense fund ?

When are they getting rid of that graffiti?

And let's guess, those responses include tax cuts, increased military spending, and investigating Joe Biden?

Ya he was looking at gun laws after the shootings. Waited until it died down and never did anything Same old con ,less than 6 months LETS NOT FORGET HOW HE LIES FOR VOTES. he will never change His action over shadow his lying words

You just don't get it

She likes kaol laid

Blond bitch

Hard, to see a non-educated person do the talking for the president of the USA.

She seems upset she can’t have lunch with the Phi Delts today.

Puke!

'starships with plasma cannons targeting protesters is an option...'

Am all for immunity reform but the police unions ... whom overwhelmingly funnel dues to Democrat politicians ... are gonna nix this.

No, but it's delirious, the Democrats have lost their heads in addition to their inxicient program....😏donaldtrump

That would be an effective way to get city police departments to improve recruit screening and better training needed to help stop police abuse of power. Money always has the biggest impact on any reform.

The Truth About Social Change

Wakanda forever?

Go ahead defund , dismantle do away with police , BUT! also do away with ALL protection for Congress and Senators I will protect my home and family with whatever it takes

The 'injustice' is not having term limits on over the hill politicians like Pelosi, Biden, Sanders that have enriched themselves on the back of taxpayers. They should lead in 'defunding' themselves.

NancyPelosi,showing pain that she does not feel, will she have cried for the thousands of stolen, kidnapped, mutilated, raped by the Colombian guerrillas? not here she crazyNancy hugs one of the most representative figures of the guerrilla the NARCO thief PiedadCordoba potus

Just stop! SpeakerPelosi

End qualified immunity and when cops realise they will have to face justice if they break the law, watch their attitude change

note the black token behind...

What's up with all that Wakanda scarves. Is this a cosplay session or a joke? Is it supposed to signal cultural allegiance, like wearing a hijab?

this woman or what ever she is totally insane an needs to be fired, asap.

Don't be fooled people. The police and unions are tight so we have to keep an eye on any legislation. We all know they'll say one thing, then behind closed doors bow to Unions.

In the USA, racism has existed for centuries,blacks, Indians, Latinos,Asians have been despised, they have been forced to defend themselves, stop hypocrisy and begin to evolve, respecting the human being, regardless of race or economic level. Hypocrites

Hot man. Not the yakker.

DNC Invalid

Well, this sounds fair. I have to wonder what’s in there that isn’t being mentioned though.

BTW....limiting qualified immunity is NOT ENOUGH. That needs to be completely eliminated. If an officer is negligent...he is accountable. Period! Also....we don't need FUCKING COPS!

Conservative democrats like Pellosi and Hillary Clinton are cookies of the same jar. Conservatives, afraid to rock the boat, bow to corporations, just bla bla about rights. They do not move a finger if not pushed by public outcry like now. Hipocrisy and political opportunism

The democratic party in America a bunch of hypocrites

Photo op, pandering for votes.

OK...here's the deal....face masks are protect everyone ELSE from your contaminated spittle...it isn't a chin warmer. If you don't wear on on your face....DON'T WEAR IT AT ALL. This is pretty disrespectful to wear it around your neck.

That woman has been old as fck since I can remember, she must be about 126 years old by now.

They are the problem! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Look crazy

End the Drug War

Has the struggle to stay relevant ever reached this low? They don’t want to give anybody the chance to hurt them in the coming election.

If only Democrats would push a Bill thru that would ul do the same thing to them. No more entitlements. No more free passes.

MinoritiesLivesMatters

Racism is touching all the spectrum of America not just the police.... These people are doing damage control... They don't want the people to look deeper so they will sacrifice as little as possible

So, Democrats are union-busting? Sounds good to me. Next, go after public schools.

Abolish police unions

1. Choke holds we're banned when Eric garner was killed. 2. They should end military grade items going to police, not limit. 3. No knocks should be banned instead of alleviated in drug cases. 4. No additional funds or penalties for not implementing. Bill sucks. Fuck em.

It seems Democrats at least are listening to justinamash

What the fuck are they wearing? 🙄

Where do people think this money is coming from? Great way to raise your local taxes for legal settlements.

Ok, I'm for getting rid of qualified immunity all together. Too often the judicial system as a whole, not just cops, abuses it's power. And that isn't entirely race based. It is in general

Thank you so much for this needed action

How about giving them a clean slate when they get out of jail so they have the opportunity to come up in society

We ll that’s a winner. Who for I don’t know

She is scary

The whole world is a bla bla bla. Take measures.

“Limiting” isn’t good enough. Qualified immunity should be abolished.

Wow!!! Liberals are going nuts! This is insane! I don’t want to be a cop right now.

I blame the lawyers ..

Nancy in that dashiki drip.....ok !

the unrelated nonsense the progressives will try to sneak into this must be watched with a hawk eye

Waste of time and votes again. No thought of what might happen if this bullshit goes through.

Big talk in an election year as usual, but will they actually get anything done?
