More than a year after George Floyd's killing, Congress can't agree on police reform.

The Justice Act proposed using federal dollars to incentivize police departments to ban controversial practices, like the chokehold that killed Floyd, make lynching a federal hate crime, increase training and enforce the use of body cameras. The effectiveness of no-knock warrants also was to be studied.In summer 2021, both sides settled on a shared"framework" from which to pursue legislation.

Many Republicans said they believed the proposed legislation put law enforcement under attack, while most Democrats held firm in holding accountable officers accused of abusing suspects.Both sides still agreed to pursue change, but qualified immunity quickly became a sticking point for Republicans, and it ultimately led to the legislation's demise.

To defund the police 🚓 is to defund the law and cause out of control lawlessness and dangerous situations in the American environment

That is just pitiful! Republicans didn't want to get rid of qualified immunity.

Horrid! Everyone should want safe police and safe citizens ! GOP not the party of pro life ANYMORE- GOP PRO DEATH! Sad.

And IF Rollins is nominated they def won't agree in key issues.
