Democrats will almost certainly blow past President Joe Biden's May target to reach consensus on a major overhaul of American policing — and progressive activists, as well as the GOP, are compounding their obstacles.
It all adds up to a punishing test for congressional Democrats, who are looking for concrete legislative wins but also can't alienate progressive groups if they want to hold on to the House and the Senate in 2022. And they're trying to stay hopeful. On other issues, however, the two parties are getting closer to an accord. As of late Friday, staff were nearing compromise on provisions limiting chokeholds, no-knock warrants, and the transfer of military equipment to police. That progress,, was confirmed by a source familiar with the negotiations.
And yet both will keep on playing dead chicken to any person vulnerable to the other party. At this point, it’s just a game of who can screw up more and get away with it.
Nope the problem is with qualified immunity and GQP is opposed doing away with it. Why? In every other profession you have accountability. In the teaching and medical profession you have liability insurance, why not them?
Progressives are the Tea Party of the Left. Lots of screaming, very little competence to produce realistic results. Demands and outrage is what defines them. So, the more you satisfy, more the goal posts keep getting moved.
Where is the media from what's happening in Palestine and Jerusalem?
I bet their asses wouldn't have a problem if killer cops were killing their asses or their corp bosses' asses. Remember, how quickly they acted to prevent another Jan. 6th? But, as long as their most loyal voters, Black people, are dying, the treacherous corp flunkies don't care.
Progressives are destroying this country.
We can fix this. Try to help the cause.
